Well Saturday was the memorial service for Aunt Pinky (82). The service was
real tearjerker as all her grandkids & children read a passage then shared
some personal experiences. She was quite loved.

The reception after was quite nice with many people bringing some thing to
share.

The basis was Costco ( I think) platters of croissant sandwiches &
turkey+stuff roll-ups ( the mayo & dressings were in containers no little
packets)
There were several salads, including a red potato, bow tie pasta with
salmon, tossed Green salad, macaroni Salad and a few others.
Red & white wine, beer, soda, bottled water, coffee & tea. The dessert bar
was sensational with enough chocolate to satisfy even the Cookie Monster.

All in all it was a really good sendoff.

Sorry about the loss of Aunt Pinky, please accept my condolences. This
reminds us how short life is and we should appreciate every moment.

Life isn't short if you live to 82. We all can only hope to make it
htat far and stay health.

Thank you - it was expected and a blessing although no one is ever really
prepared for the passing of a loved one.

I'll give it a B.

The church I attend used to serve it that way, too. No more. Must've
had a review by the health department or something. Leftovers would,
I'm pretty sure, go back into the original container. I don't think
you can do that. . .

Nice. Dessert is important.

She was lucky to have you in her life.

You are very kind - but quite frankly I was the lucky one - Hearing her
grandkids speak of Pinky gave me a real insight into being a grandparent.
