Interesting the way funerals are done. An interesting subtitle could be “party for 10.” Sorry for your loss, Darlene. My uncle died on Saturday. Time goes too fast.

A fantastic write, Darlene, Wonderful she lived 91 years. At least you can have gatherings for those who passed. We are not allowed to do that nor attend a burial here. Only riots and looting permitted. Gee. Good you are in Canada..may you cherish her in memory ...always. Hugs, Panagiota xxx
