We have been in Georgia the past few days for a Jones family gathering. It was nice to see everyone, but, sadly, it was because Dave's 92 year-old grandmother died last week. She was a dedicated Catholic, and her funeral reflected her wishes. It was just like the movies: there was a wake with an open casket (and a full rosary), a full Catholic mass at the actual funeral, and a grave-site ceremony. While neither Dave nor I are Christians - never mind Catholics - it was good to see at the various ceremonies the love with which her family looked back on memories with her. Plus, it was good to see everyone together.
Attending the funeral has inspired Dave and me to think about our own wishes for when we die. Something I'd like my surviving friends and family to include is a walk/run in my memory. It doesn't have to be terribly organized; it just has to be something everyone can enjoy together.

I'm sorry to hear Dave's Grams passed away - but it sure sounds like a wonderful ceremony with loads of love to go around.
I was kind of starting to worry :-) Haven't heard from you in awhile!
good to know.... personally I would like to request a drinkathon in my name. Definitely not organized... but fun for the whole family. And singing of bawdy songs. And laughing until peeing. And food. And more drinking. You should all wear numbers, so it will look organized. Did I mention the drinking?
love you
