Well, I am home.   Got here at about 7PM and am exhausted.    Too late to pick up my Nicky.    Will get him tomorrow morning.

It was, as most funerals are, sad because we won't see or get to hug our Leslie any longer but joyful in the memories of her and being together, those who loved her.     Bill planned a lovely service and the families were able to spend time together.     We all have our own ways of mourning.

I got to see Sara's son and my great grandson, Matthew in person. for the first time and find him a fine young man.    Almost four years old now.

Got to meet Sara's husband, John, for the first time too and I like him.  

Sara and Nora both look great.    I do miss them.

More later.    Time to go to bed.

A sad day.   Our Leslie passed away early this afternoon.    She has suffered enough and Bill said that her face was peaceful and that she had a little smile.    We know she is safe now but we will miss her joy.

I went to the 8:30AM Mass this morning.   Then came home and got things organized around here and my wash done.    When I know the details of the funeral, I will make arrangements to to to Louisiana.   Nicky will stay with the veterinarian this time.   With all his medical problems, Bart and Barb should not have to mess with that.  The techs at the vet love him anyway.

I am relaxing for the evening with my glass of wine and thinking of Dick.   I know he is there to greet his daughter as she enters the gates of heaven.
