In Memory...

Our dear friend and hubby's surrogate mom growing up, Carolyn Willoughby passed away. Her memorial service was last Tuesday in Peachtree City. Mrs. Willo (as we always called her) was an incredible lady. She was small in size but huge in heart and spirit. She shared her love with Christ with anyone and everyone that she met, always praying with and for anyone she knew. She loved her walks with friends and God. The memorial service was filled with friends and family who loved her and will miss her dearly. There were some wonderful stories told... a few about her love of health food, very untasty health food! Hubby and his brother were best friends with Mrs. Willo's two sons and spent MANY hours at their house. They were lucky enough to be able to ask what was for dinner each night. If it was wheat germ pizza or something similar they would go home and come back after dinner :) But Tuesday nights were Del Taco nights with Mr. Willo and the boys and Sundays were usually safe with Fried Egg Sandwiches. She made spinach pasta before spinach pasta was cool.

We love you and will miss you Mrs. Willo!

I need to look for a picture to scan and post.

Thinking of you, Nicole. I can almost picture her with your lighthearted journaling of her health food.
