I'll take all the virtual hugs I can. Just be sure to ground yourselves first to eliminate unfortunate static discharge. Or other discharges.

I see you have already found joy in your memories of her! In this way she will always reside in your hearts! May you and your family find peace.

Aunt Lela will be interred on Saturday at noon. Its going to be a full day as there is a celebration of her life immediately following the service, but its an hour South of KC. In the grand scheme of things, this is the most important place to be, but TF is also having her housewarming that evening, so it is going to be a busy day.

Honoring the recently departed trumps helping your g/f get the place ready for the housewarming she's been planning for six months, so I won't be able to be there to help her tidy, prepare food, etc.

Thank the gods she understands.

I'm sorry for your loss, but it sounds like ya'll have a great life to celebrate. Hope everything goes well. TF is a sweetie, of course she understands, hope her housewarming goes well too.

I am very sorry for your loss of this wonderful, courageous woman.

Blessings and healing to her, and to all whose lives were touched by her.

Can I just add my compliments to Tree for being a decent and loving person?
Of course it's the right thing to do, but it must be a blow nonethless.

If she's not logging in Els, can you pass on my good wishes to her for being understanding.

Good luck for tomorrow. I hope it goes as well as these things can and you celebrate her life and continue the grieving process in a positive way.
