LAYING TO REST OUR LOVED ONE ...





















































For the elderly body--dust to dust,
ashes to ashes;











what a comfort to have new little bodies stepping into the line.
My dear mother-in-law left fourteen
grandchildren and
ten great-grandchildren to
follow after.

THERE'S BEEN AN AWFUL LOT of togetherness, what with the upcoming funeral.
By Friday evening all of my mother-in-law's descendants (with one little exception) had arrived in the area, flying and driving through storms that threatened tornadoes. We were happy to welcome each new arrival!




And when everyone was here, we ate the birthday cake...
stored in the freezer
since that day when
the sentiment expressed
atop would have been one
hundred percent true for
my mother-in-law.
