[QUOTE="Shari, post: 219279, member: 1848"] The important thing is being there. *** When my dad died, I packed to travel hours from home; I arrived with 6 pairs of pants and 2 shirts. Neither one nice. My brothers did the same, tho. lol I asked a friend coming up later to bring a particular shirt and jewelry for the visitation. So I wore a bright pink western shirt to my dad's funeral. I had made it to go with the jewelry the kids had given me that previous Christmas. Dad was always proud of my creativity (even when it made me weird) and he wore or played along with whatever ridiculous things the grandkids presented him with, so I thought it was a perfect fit. *** Several of the grandkids and neices and nephews bought and wore John Deere t-shirts. One farmer/neighbor came in his bib overalls. The Amish came in their Sunday clothes. I remember these because they fit dad's personality - not because they didn't fit in. I know people passed in suits and pearls, but I don't recall who. I know people passed in jeans and t-shirts, but I don't recall who they were, either. *** I'm sure you could find something at Good Will or the likes, but unless you are just really uncomfortable with what you have, I'd expend the energy being there instead of prepping to be there.
