I know what you mean.

I have a lot to do yet this weekend. The Cruise is out for me, due to
Grandma's <http://myelcamino.net/ec/motor_0706_6.jpg> Memorial service on
Saturday.

I may or may not have posted it to the list, but we lost Grandma at 96
wonderful years. She passed on Monday last week, after about 3 days in the
hospital. She did not have paddles, IV's, and feeding tubes... it was what
she wanted. Our grieving was done there, while waiting. It's been a long
week of arrangements, paperwork, contacting releatives, etc. There were a
lot.

Some of the last words, although yes or no was most all she could muster,
were that she enjoyed the Big Band music we were playing for her. I asked
her if she would like to dance, and she said nothing, but when Cindy said
"You would if you could" she said "Yes!".

She is survived by 2 children;10 grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren;
41 great-great-grandchildren.


She will be missed, but we are going to celebrate her life this weekend.
