(((((((Muffy & Family)))))))

I'm sorry that I just saw this.... and I hope that solace comes quickly to you and all that is yours.

I too, know how important it is for you to do the kind and compassionate thing ~ and you have.

So, this did not change you in anyway. I'm so glad because we love you as wonderful as you are!

It's so difficult to understand situations sometimes, especially why their are exclusions of others when it's absolutely not necessary, but rather, quite important to them to be a part of the proceedings and know the information.

Some can be so over-protective of what they perceive only belongs to them, even people like aunts and mothers and fathers and such, to a fault, and it hurts others.

I'm sorry this sad news about the loss of a Dear and precious Aunt didn't reach you in time ... and that it caused your absence at the wake and her funeral and afterwards.

Maybe you can have a memorial for her for you and your family at your local church or temple. If you did this, you might even feel, if appropriate, to invite your Aunts family for a new beginning after such a sad loss in your life.

I was able to have a special service at a church nearby me, that I wasn't even a member of, for my beloved grandparent that passed away a few years back... as I could not get there in time (across the country) after my notice I received.

It made me feel better, and closer to my Grandfather... and all I had to do was give a very small donation to the church for the gift of having my goodbye held in a special place he would have loved, (and having the place practically to myself), with the priest adding his name to the litany of prayers that morning.

My condolences to you and your precious family, Dear Muffy.

(and I'm terribly sorry this happened to you, who is deserving of everything nice and considerate and loving)

Peace and Sadness for your Loss,
Night
