[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 137237, member: 2211"] {{{Barbara}}} I'm so sorry. The idea for a memorial service sounds very nice. That's what our family did as we were all spread out throughout the country back then so we chose a date and location (my brothers in NY) and met there for the service and party. It was very nice and heartwarming, I think my Dad would have approved as it'd been a few months so instead of everyone being sad, we were just happy to be together to celebrate Dad's life, Know what I mean?? My mom was around 69 then I believe and still active with her social circle and also traveled between her retirement home in the winters and to her Summer place near my sister in PA. Initially she was very distraught but my Dad battled a long illness, so in a way, it was a relief for her to know he was no longer in pain. I think we all just made extra efforts to invite her out for lunch/family things and call her frequently. She lost her Mother on the day she buried my Dad's ashes 2 months after his death, so it was a double whammy for her and again, we just tried to be there for her. Gentle Hugs~ [/QUOTE]
