That sounds lovely, Donna
It was a very special thing that your mother’s friends did by making her favorite foods for the funeral dinner. Most people don’t think of doing sweet little things like that.
It was my mother’s wish not to have services of any kind. It’s soooo hard to get up and speak at those things... At my grandma’s wake I knew I wouldn’t be able to get through it, so I wrote a letter and asked the priest to read it for me. It was very brave of Derrick to get up there and say some good words about his grandmother
I know this is a difficult time... take care of yourself, Donna (((HUGS)))
