mom's funeral
My mom past away July 12th and we traveled to her funeral in Rexburg Id. It was a a wonderful ceremony (with one the exception). She had asked me to sing Going Home. I had a lot of trouble getting through it but did and felt it helped those who were sad. It's strange I hadn't been sad about it. Mom has been in pain a long time and really has been missing dad who died 10 years ago so I was happy for her but seeing all my relatives and I guess the ceremony really hit me. It is a joyful song but I had to stop at one point to compose myself because I couldn't keep singing.

I'm very sorry for your loss, and have an inkling of what it was like at the ceremony. My mom passed in 2019, but it wasn't until the following summer that we had a memorial service. I read a short passage from the Bible, and almost could not physically finish.

Prayers and support for you and yours. I was in a very similar position when my mother went. She hadn't recognized my older sister for a fairly long while, and me
only for fleeting moments each visit. I was happy for her to be out of struggle. Then in the middle of her service, I became exceedingly aware of how glad I was I wasn't
attempting to sing for her, as I feel sure I wouldn't have made it. Twenty years later, my voice will occasionally fail during Merle Haggard's "Mama's Hungry Eyes",
overly aware of the vast chasm between what we had and what she wanted to provide for the two of us. Congratulations on being able to pull it off.

My deepest condolences! And also a nod, to her finding her way home to Your Dad.
I lost my Mum, when She was age 44. This due to braincancer. Her battle lasted a couple o'years. Set her to rest, on Her 45'th birthday.
Someone said time would heal the pain. Was she wrong!
Every service is a replay, at least when it come to feelings, And there has been all to many...
It must be something with the mood...

thank you
it's one of those things that seems to rise up at unusual times and events but still I'm glad she is where she is

thank you
it's amazing how small quiet words of support help a person through life's trials.
