Celebration of a Life



Heavenward they float

Messages of love in pink

for our Lily girl


At 5 p.m. on March 9th, if you looked up into the sky over the Salt Lake Valley, from Farmington to South Salt Lake, you may have seen a battalion of pink balloons released in honor of Lily's 3rd birthday.  The Mordue family and their ward released balloons in Farmington, while the John Henry Smith Insurance family released them in Bountiful and Salt Lake, and the extended Smith Family released them in South Salt Lake.  I'm pretty sure there were balloons sent up in the Arizona sky as well, from the Farr Family.  It was a special moment, followed by beautiful words from Lily's mom, Kim, and then we all helped plant a tree next to Lily's grave in Farmington...a flowering plum.
