Max's memorial went great
Max's memorial went great. Im sure he was happy to see all the people that came to honor him and all of his angel friends. Everybody had a great time and there were a few tears but alot of laughs and Thats what I wanted. People to talk about the good memories. One of the angels honored todays father, grandmother and brother came and were very thankful for what I not only did for Max but all babies gone to soon. We had the fences displayed out front for everyone to see and someone asked me who all those names were? her mother jumped in and said "those are all babies that have passed away"..she looked at the fences again and said "but there are so many of them on there "I could see her looking at her lil boy and tears building up in her eyes. I think it was at that moment she realized how lucky she was to have her son here rather than on that fence. I only have a few pics right now but the friend of mine who did all the videos and photos will have them sent to me by tomorrow:)Also in the opening prayer, not only did he mention Max but he made sure that he mentioned all of your angels and what the tree was for. :)I didnt even ask him to do that , he did it on his own. I guess I made alot of people cry when I read the poem I wrote for Max. I was doing enough cryin of my own tryin to get thru it so I didnt realize I was making other people cry. Everybody that came laid a brick around the tree to honor our angels:). It was very sweet. What was weird is when the fences were being put in ground some of the ornament started popping off. Some when noone was even near the fence. They were attached with liquid nails and should have never came off. People started laughing and said all your angels were there and that was thier way of saying hello. They wanted to make sure everyone new they were there cause everytime one came off everyone looked to see whos name was on it..lolYevette your Destin was the first to make himself known and not only did it come off but it projected a foot or so like someone popped it off with force. I beleive all your angels were there and were playing with us just like children do. Im not sure if they got any on video flying off but if they did I will def post it. Thank you again to everyone for letting me include all your angels today with my Max.

That is really sweet. I\'m glad the memorial went well. Thank you again for including Brenna and all our angels in your memorial. I love the story about the popping ornaments! Sounds like kids to me. :) Great big hugs, Corrine
Oh my gosh! It sounds like it was such a beautiful service!! And in the midst of the sorrow, there was joy and laughter! So perfect! I absolutely believe that our baby angels where there being spunky and playful!! Did you happen to notice if Matthew was one of them? Thank you so much for sharing Max\'s special day with us!! You have blessed us in your grief. The gift of this inclusion of our angel babies was a labor of love that we appreciate so much!! Bless you!!
It sounds like a wonderful memorial! Skyler was a real stinker.... sounds like she might have had a hand in getting the others going!
Thank you for sharing. =) I can\'t wait to see pictures. It sounds like the perfect memorial, and I\'m glad you went through with it, even when you thought you might be the only one there. You and Max have touched a lot of us.
Thank you- I wish I was there, it sounds perfect.
I, too, wish I had been there... what a site it would have been to see the Angels saying Hello... Thank you so much for including all of our Angels. I can imagine they were all in Heaven partying today and patting Max on his back.
Hugs!!!
