Thank you so much Line. I am honored. I have to tell you my only tears were before she went home. As soon as she became an angel I knew she was out of pain. Her memorial service was full of humor and laughter, just like she was.

So true, funerals are for the living not the dead.

Amazing to think that life is just the blink of an eye in the grand scheme of eternity.
