Mom's Memorial Service

We went to Boston this weekend for Mom's memorial service. It was a beautiful service, and a gorgeous weekend. We spent the weekend with family and friends celebrating Mom's long life. Here are some photos that Kamila and I took over the past couple of days. Emma & Joe LOVED spending time with all of their cousins in Boston. And... the Sox won. Mom would have enjoyed the weekend.
