Funerals

This has been a week of funerals and remembering.  Jim's youngest brother, John, passed away last week and our great children represented us well.  One spoke, one sang and one prayed and the rest either attended or sent flowers.  Thanks kids you are fabulous!
  The next day we attended our friend, Per Mielsoe's, funeral. It was also lovely.  All of the children as well as his wife, Kristin, talked with several lovely musical numbers.  The most interesting difference was the hearse and flower placement.

People brought their own arrangements, gave them to the mortician in charge, who distributed them artfully about the chapel.  There were some around the casket, on the podium and then down both aisles.  It was a nice way to appreciate them.
