Nov. 7: Today is the two-month anniversary of my mom’s funeral. It’s been an odd journey these past couple months. There’s a lot of sadness, a lot of normalness, a lot of happiness, and a lot of trepidation about how we all move forward. The second half of Mom’s funeral gave people a chance to come up and say something about my mom. The speakers have generously shared their comments with me so I could post them more broadly. Here they are:
Dad, Mary Read (mom’s friend from childhood), Nancy McElmurry (mom’s friend from when I was little), Paula Kopp (mom’s cousin), Heather Lerner (my friend and one of mom’s adopted children), and Terry.
Althea, Bryan, Andrew, and Sylvia
