My mother's funeral after a long life and a brief ending was pretty upbeat, however.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-15360111621894263712013-07-28T17:20:05.294-04:002013-07-28T17:20:05.294-04:00I kept referring to my granddaughter's funeral...I kept referring to my granddaughter's funeral as her wedding when we were planning it and sometimes I catch myself even now saying the same.
