It's been over 5 years since my Mother passed. She would've turned 70 this year. Perhaps it's purchasing our first home in 2026, or the impending expansion of our family this fall, but I still think about her all the time. I know many reading this do too. She was a memorable person with that big smile and laugh. A laugh so hard sometimes you'd think she was going to pass out.
I enjoy this event as moment to reflect, gather, and tell stories. My Mother liked those kind of things too. So if you're inclined, please gather again on Saturday morning, October 3, 2026, and support CJD funding and research so maybe a generation or two from now, someone can get a few more years. If my Mother had just a few more years she could've met her daughter-in-law, been a prominent part of our wedding, seen our home and met her grandchild.
