Guys......thank you ALL for your WONDERFUL words of comfort....they really meant so much to me!
I posted a few songs on the "covers" thread and every damn one of them brought tears to my eyes because they each had a connection to the love and caring involved. That's the thing about music I think we love so much though....it brings out so many different feelings and emotions. That "Stairway to Heaven" cover by Heart....just hit me....
Well, I have all the funeral arrangements taken care of. Mom, because of who she was, had already made all the arrangements ahead of time - back in 2002, I think. Prepaid so the only balance due will be $190. Some of the extras not usually included ahead of time are death certificates, donation to clergy, and in our case donation to local honor guard.
I declined the limo option though so we got a credit for that one.
My 3 brothers and I will serve as pallbearers along with our two nephews.
We've had a LOT of rain this past week, sorely needed and thus welcomed. But the sun is out today and I can't help it's another sign from above.
