[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 219513, member: 393"] [B]Heather, I'm sorry I missed the post on the death of your neighbor. Attire is whatever you are comfortable in & what you feel would honor your neighbor's life. Take whatever you feel the family might need. (Many times I've taken a veggie plate with dips & chess & crackers.) We've had 3 close deaths in my family over the years ~ sometimes we were inundated with food; however offers of cleaning up after the reception or taking charge of all the sympathy cards (many times they include cash memorials) if the funeral home hasn't taken care of that, are greatly appreciated by the family. The real need is a week or two after the funeral when many times cleaning out of clothing or personal affects need to be done. It helped to have someone not quite so close to the family there to help. Many times that person did nothing more than listen & make coffee time & again while we worked on things. There would be times that that very person would put a stop to things & make sure we ate while we worked. Just common sense things. I've been to every family funeral throughout my lifetime. I know that those closest to the departed appreciate many of the things I mentioned more than a casserole or dessert. [/B] [/QUOTE]
