And hw VERY like this Mom. Any and
all of us would have much preferred to
have spent some extra time with her
during the holidays, even if she was
in the hospital.

Mom, had it pretty much laid
out from beginning to end, with
her preferred readings listed and
the music shed like as well as who
she'd like to read each passage. 
The funeral was yesterday and 
from all the reports I've gotten it
was a powerful and moving testament
to her life and spirit.

It was a long and difficult day to
