Mary Sharon MacKenna Lewis

Not a good start to updating our blog, but I wanted to add a post about Aaron's mother.  As most/all of you know, she passed away on May 31, 2008 after battling a brain tumor -- at only 52 years old.  

We are very happy that Aaron and his brothers were there in Dallas when this happened - this trip had been a planned and was the first time that all three of them were together with her in years.  They arrived at different times, and though she had taken a turn for the worse, she greeted each of them with a big smile.  They were able to sit with her for a couple of days, and she passed away knowing they were there.

Aaron did a great job with all of the arrangements - there was a private burial on Tuesday and a Memorial Service on Wednesday with friends and family.  One thing Aaron found that Sharon had held onto for years were old family photos dating back generations ... we had a nice lunch going through some of those and hearing stories from her brothers and sisters.  


Sharon was very strong and left us all with some wonderful memories.
