My Mother's funeral update ....

[KenpoGirl]

Just so you know whom we are talking about I found the Obituary for Mary L. Conaster . As you can tell by that picture she was full of joy.

I wish I could be there tommorrow Dennis, but I will be there in spirit.

P.S. there is a guest book at that sight if you wish to send a note.

Well, another of the days I have feared all of my life... has came and went. We had the viewing last night followed by a short prayer service with many (about 75) of my mothers and my friends/students and Knights, that came there to support me and my boys (yes, more than a couple of tears fell). It was a nice service and a good send off for my mother.

I must say that the Flowers that you all sent were "Outstanding" and truly appreciated. They were just beautiful and filled the room. I felt so surrounded by everyone that was not even there!!! We were at a loss for words.

The funeral today was equally nice and private.

(Although the motorcycle escort did manage to create some excitement and crashed in front of the hearse on the freeway close to the Veterans Cemetery)! One of the cyclists moved too close to the other bikes wheel and clipped it, which flipped the bike and threw the cyclist tumbling into traffic..... fortunately, he escaped with several scrapes and a sore hip but no serious injuries!! (should I get my money back? LOL

Graveside was solemn and now she finally rests in peace with my father.

Again, thank You ALL from Dennis II, Stephen, and myself.

You don't know how you have touched us.

I never know what to say, save that I am going through the same thing myself.

I feel the saddness and loss you are experiencing. I know it has been a long time in caring for your mother and making her life and the life of your children, the best possible that you could. I respect and admire the road you have followed the past years in caring for your family. I hope for some peace and rest for you following this difficult time of mourning.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Oss,
-Michael

I know..... all's I can say is that I beat you too it. I pray when your mother's time comes, that she goes as pain free, comfortable and peaceful as mine.

Thank you for your thoughts during this time!

Sir,

I have not really been on MartialTalk all month. I just noticed this thread and I want to express my sympathies.

I have submitted a request for comfort and strength to the Prayer Warriors at my church.

I think it is the best thing I can think to do for you and your family at this point.

I wish you all well. God Bless You. I'll probably call you later. I hope she knows how many people you have helped and befriended so far in your lifetime. I imagine she was familiar with your status in Kenpo?
