Although not everybody was able to be in attendance (a few are pre-deceased,) we gathered in a mass to say good bye to great Grandma Pike. At 97 years of age she made a terrific run at making it to 100! So close. She did have a great turn out for her visitation, service, and the food in the lounge. It was kept mostly just family for the internment though. Uncle Fred’s ashes went in with GP to rest in peace. It was a somber event, but with brief fits of laughter. We played her out with the Jeopardy theme song, since she loved that, and Wheel of Fortune so much. A good giggle.
I was a pall bearer, which is a first for me. I have known death, but never had to carry a casket before. It was a closed casket so no need to look inside this go around. Thankfully.
