Mother's funeral

As most of you know, my mother passed away Easter Sunday after a long bout with Cancer. She came to live with us March 17th 2008. On March 17th 2009, she went into a nursing home as she was no longer able to get out of bed or walk. April 12th, when she passed away she was pretty much paralized. So it was that great and dreadful day. Knowing she was ready to go. We had a very nice graveside service as she had requested. My sister, Dolores, my cousin Ron, and several other cousins, came including those from Salt Lake who came all the way to the funeral and went home after. Most of her close friends also attended. All of our children and some of the in-laws and grandkids came. They did the whole ceremony. It was a special and uplifting day. The services were short, started on time, and very nice and I know mom would have enjoyed it.
