15 years gone
We wore our yellow and lit our luminaries. We love you Mary!

We did the same thing here in Utah...lumimaries lining the driveway of 2928 Jennie Lane. I'm sure Mary appreciates this and hope she knows she's not forgotten and that we think of her every day.
That is such a great idea. I'm going to do that for my mom this year. You look so great Megan. I found your blog thru Paiges. It will be fun to check in on you. I didn't know your sister...but I'm sure you miss her very much. She will never be forgotten. And I like to think they look down on us, and feel our love for them!
I can't believe I am the Mary's same age when she died, and that it has been that long. Sometimes it makes me so sad that I can't remember Mary. I have a few distinct memories of her though.
I remember her calling me Bubs and Katie June bug. I remember her taking me one time to watch her practice tennis and showing me off to her friends saying that I was the cutest kid in the world. I remember her teaching me the words to "All I Wanna Do" and singing it over and over. I remember her painting my tiny little toes, talking and smiling to me the whole time. I remember visiting her at the dorms with Mom and being so happy to see her. Mostly I remember how much she loved me.
I am glad we have this tradition, and that we have kept and continue to keep her a part of all of our lives.

This made me cry. So beautiful.

I am sure that Mary is grateful that you all honor her each year. Those candles are such a cool tradition. Kate's little memories are so sweet.
Sisters! What a cute picture. I cried a little when I saw this post. It's so amazing to me that 15 years have gone by already.
