My Dad has always had the theme for our family of No Empty Chairs. He wants to make sure his entire family is in heaven.
When I came to my parents house on Thursday, I found this poem taped on the fridge:
(My Mom's fridge is not like mine with a million things on it, this was the only thing.)
We must cherish one another
Watch over one another
Comfort one another
And Gain instruction
That we may all sit down
In Heaven together
- Lucy Mack Smith
We like to think my Mother is in heaven setting up all of the chairs for the family.

I have been thinking of your family all week. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. You know we love you guys :0) No empty chairs...that's awesome!
I love this post too Barb. Thanks for sharing those thoughts. She surely gone ahead to make sure everyone will have a prepared spot for everyone, therefore no empty chairs indeed!
I learned so much about Grandma Bradley at her funeral. What an amazing woman! All the anecdotes and kind words about her inspired me to be a better person and mother. I'm so proud to carry on the Bradley legacy.
It was good to see you in person instead of on the web.
