Thank you again from the bottom of my heart to all that posted here! It was a tremendous lift reading this thread the past few days. I showed it to my family yesterday. They couldn't believe the outpouring of kindness that's been shown here. They're amazed to know that I've gotten to know and love so many here thru a computer! They send their thanks and love to ya'll as well!!!
The funeral was everything Mom asked for. If all businesses ran theirs like this funeral director does, we'd never complain about customer service again. It couldn't have gone any better, and they did everything Mom asked for without hesitation. The service was excellent. We all got up and talked about Mom a lil. Many more turned out than I'd expected. It was a beautiful beginning to her next life!
We took everyone out to her favorite restaurant afterwards and we ordered all her favorite foods. Then we went back to my brother's house and received many guests offering their condolences. All her kids, grandkids, cousins, and the rest of the family was there. Always makes me wonder why it takes something like this to get EVERYONE together. It needs to be done more often. Life's too short!
Well, I can't say thank you enough to everyone for your support. It really does make my heart soar like an eagle!
Ride hard in your new life Mom! Clear skies, wind at your back, and beautiful roads are ahead for you now! We'll miss you dearly! We love you and just know we're all OK and will all ride on in your memory!!!

Hoist!
