Saturday, February 14: Mom’s Funeral Service

Hi there it’s Saturday, February 14 is Valentine’s Day but most of all it is my mom‘s funeral today. She lived on 96 years old. Mary and I 
got up around 7:30 AM. I went out to Montreal spread bakery and nobody was there. I got two coffees and went to the minimart and got two sandwiches. I got dressed. Mary took a shower and it’s now 8:55 AM and I’m waiting for Mary to come with her phone. And I don’t think she can

find her phone so I’m going call her. We have to be at church at 9:15. Well, we actually made the church by around 9:17 AM. Will you 
made a really good pace with going down? I-76 and I-95. It was pretty amazing. Brought over the particle board with the pictures and there were   2️⃣ guys 
there at the church we parked near nice black ice & managed not to slip on that. The service was pretty good Dave Alice did a pretty goodjob of getting speakers, etc. on the program. John and I earlier had an adventure trying to find a bathroom that was interesting. It was funny. So we found out various a bathroom went to church. Anyway, service was well fought out and very emotional. We were the pallbearers David, John, Mike, and myself. Have afterwards the receptionist held at Dave’s club Spring Haven golf club. Everybody hung out and shot the shit, etc.. it was nice to see everybody. Folks you’re gonna meet at some bar but no decisions for me. It took the family about an hour and a half to decide that they were 

going out but by that time I just wanted to go home and so did Mary. Went back to the Dorchester ordered Indian and watched Law and order. It was very comforting. Tomorrow our plans to go to Long Beach Island for a little road trip and getaway for the burial on Monday. It was good to see the 
whole family again. The reception was very very nice. The club was a perfect spot for it. If you want my opinion and I know everybody wants my 
opinion you see. The weather held off and didn’t rain or snow or blow or go down to 15° and all that other kind of East Coast weather in February has to offer for us and our kin.
