Memories
thanks to everyone for you kind words. My mom's leaving us was sudden and a shock, made easier knowing she's better off now. She would not have wished to extend her suffering in the condition she was in. The funeral was sad for us all and thanks to those who showed up. Some came from far and we appreciate it. Many could not make it and we totally understand. The last time we saw her Alexander was playing Amazing Grace on the bagpipes outside her parish, where we all gathered for the funeral, as the car with the casket drove away. I kept thinking how she would have liked that.
