Thank you all that made it to Mom's service, we appreciated having you there. And those that weren't able to make it, don't worry about it, Mom knows you were there in spirit, and so do we.
I'm not sure what was going on with the slideshow when it was showing on the walls, it didn't glitch like that when we tested it, so here it is on YouTube.
I'll work on keeping up on this blog, letting you know what's going on with Brooke and I. Things are probably going to be a bit hectic over the next few months, with taking care of legal and financial stuff, as well as the house, but it'll just be a different kind of hectic. =)
Love y'all.

Memorial Service
Mom's memorial service is being held on Saturday, 12/11/10, at 11am PST. She's also having a simultaneous one held in Iowa at 11am CST
Mom wanted donations to go to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, and flowers are being provided by Bloomies on Main here in Pleasanton. Their number is 925-931-1290, and we're working with Sarah. Just let her know it's for the Mensing memorial, and she'll put together a beautiful coordinating arrangement.
Sorry folks, this is all the energy I have right now. I haven't slept much in the last couple months, and REALLY haven't slept much in the last couple weeks, so I'm running on average three to four hours a night... I'm an eight hour girl. I'm doing my best to just not get a cold. Love you all, love your support, we appreciate you more than you could know, and we look forward to seeing you next Saturday, even if it had to be under these circumstances.

Stories and Pictures
I'll elaborate on this post after I finish a few things that need to be done during business hours.
We're working on a slide show of pictures of Mom, and we're looking for your help. If you have digital pictures, email them to the celebrate_pat@yahoo.com email address, or if there's too many photos (absolutely nothing wrong with that, we'd love to have them), you can drop off a CD here at the house, I'll send you the address. If you have hard copy photos, and can't get them scanned, just drop them off here, and I'll scan them. I'll make sure they get returned to you in the same condition, I know just how precious hard copy photos can be.
Please make sure all hard copy photos are dropped off by Sunday, and all digital photos are in to me by Tuesday. This will give me time to go through them, edit, put them in a good order for the music they'll be going to. This meant a LOT LOT LOT to Mom, so it means a lot to Brooke and I. Please help us.
The second thing Mom REALLY wanted was stories. Memories you have of her, with her, etc. There may be an opportunity to say these at the service, there may not, we're not sure yet, but Brooke and I would love to have the memories of Mom for us, and to pass on to future generations. Again, please send those to the celebrate_pat@yahoo.com email.
Thank you.
