Goodbye--Farewell--See Ya!!

Thought I would join all of you  Gals in the challenge from Cuisine Kathleen for her Farewell to Summer 

My post is a little different as I wanted to show  you our

Going away  CELEBRATION for a good friend at our church.

This sweet lady is moving to be close to her family due 

to the sudden death of her husband. This is one strong and faithful lady.

Her family has been members of our congregation for over 27 years.

Faithful choir member, VBS Worker, Sunday School officer, 

Praise Team Member, right hand to choir director and 

was always available to provide us with her 

WORLD FAMOUS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES.

She will be missed by all.

The church hosted a going away celebration for her

 before she moved. 

I was honored when asked to 

decorate for the occasion.

One of her greatest loves is music.......so that was the theme we used.

Table Centerpeices

                                 

 My talented daughter came to my rescue and cut out music notes 

hurray for cricut

and I had two ladies 

who helped put everything together.

We placed sheet music under each centerpiece and 

 also had a runner of sheet music on the cake table.

You can also see shredded sheet music 

around the cake table

thank goodness for old choir music

      As she is moving from the great state of Texas to a state up north of here

  OKLAHOMA, you know that is hard to type for  a Texan

We set up a gift and card table representing were she had been

and were she was going. 

    

     

 

Guest were treated to cake and punch 

Has she and two other ladies in the photo sang together 

for many years 

they sang together one last time.

We had a time of remembrance by many folks with laughs and tears.

During our time of celebrations we also had a time

 surrounding her with our prayers and love!

As I say farewell to summer 

I say see you later to a dear and gracious lady.

Thanks for stopping by

Hope you have a wonderful

Labor Day!

I will be joining
