It was a nice turnout of people, many we haven't seen in years. Mom's brother and his whole family showed up as well. He is the last surviving sibling of their large family. We noticed there were many gifts made to mom's charity and that would make her happy. We had a family only time at the beginning and saw mom's body. My younger 3 children had pictures and a poem to go into her casket before we closed it. Mom had seen Ronna's necklace while in ICU and wanted one. Ronna purchased one like it and put it in Mom's hands.
Obviously everyone was upset when we closed the casket and 2 of my children became very upset. This was their first close family death and it was naturally a big emotional time for them.
Today we will put her body in the ground. She will be buried in the same cemetery as her parents, my father, his parents, and her baby brother.
