It was a very nice service. Mum looked very good and so peaceful. They even did her nails to match her outfit. The greeting people was better than I thought. The ladies that volunteered with mum recognized me as the daughter who drove mum to circle events, and told me who they were. Had cousins from all over the USA here. The church service was not too long, and the organist didn’t play so loudly that it hurt. The cemetery was fortunately brief, and they gave us kids and grandchildren a rose, the great grandchildren carnations. The kids were all left at home, so the great grandchildren, took carnations for the great, great grandchildren. Then back to the reception and I got to talk to my cousins. We reminisced on growing up and the adventures we had. We exclaimed on how we we the last of the free range, kids growing up. Then my sisters came over and we went though cards. Next week we’ll get together and do the cards.
