Thank you!! I took it hard, but at least now she’s in a better place and not suffering. She had dementia very bad, and it did hurt to see her and her not know who you are. She was a loving and caring person, read the Bible daily and she knew Jesus

I hit 408 on my opener, had handoff issues on my second attempt and missed, and on my third attempt on the way down I ended up dipping the bar up and down and they took it. So it was a no lift. 435 would’ve been a new world record but it just wasn’t in the cards today
