The evening of the day my mother died we (her kids and niece) gathered
at her favorite restaurant for dinner. We had a place set for her and
ordered her favorite meal to be served to that empty place. That seems
ultra-weird now, but at the time it felt very comfortable. Per her
wishes, just like HER mother, there was no visitation or local service.
Several months later we all gathered in our hometown and had a very
large memorial dinner where we shared laughs, tears and lots and lots of
photos & videos.
