Highlights from 2018
2018 was a very busy year for all of us. I made several trips to South Carolina, mainly because of Mom's health. Here is a little of what we did. For Mother's Day, in May I asked Andrew and Laura to meet us for a day to be together. We met up in West Virginia and enjoyed breakfast, a game of mini-golf and ice cream. It was a wonderful Mother's Day having both of my children together. Mom got sicker again the first of August, so I returned two weeks before she passed away. Andrew and Laura got married the first part of August, though I didn't get back for their wedding. Later, in September, Michael came so we could attend his nephew's wedding. Then we took Christy & CJ to Lakeland, FL to Legoland and a brief visit with Michael's Aunt & Uncle Bob & Dottie.
Andrew and Laura (Morris) were married in August

Mom left us this year. In loving memory of Esther S All - Vivian's Mom
Mom (Esther All) became very sick this year without improving. She left us on August 20, 2018. Following are some photos of her funeral.
September: Philip and Bethany (Grudier) were married in September. Michael came over in September to join me so we could go to the wedding before we went back to Hong Kong.
The Last Christmas at The House
Michael and I needed to attend a conference in Oregon in January, so we decided to come back to SC for Christmas. This became our "Last Christmas Celebration In The House". It really was different not having Mom there, although I think she was lurking around in the shadows, We aren't sure she was pleased or not...but we had a good time!
