Thanks, Bricker. Coming from the same place, she’d appreciate it. Wan 🙂 “Mom, my kids need a proper upbringing. They’re all female, so we’re raising them Lutheran.” “I was going to suggest Episcopalian, but close enough.” ---

My condolences, dropzone; sounds like she had a good run and had her mental faculties right to the end, a dignity that many are not given. ---

> [@kambuckta](#): > > Vale\*\* dropmum.\*\* You managed to bring a (vaguely) decent fella into this world, so kudos. She’d publicly argue with your qualifier, but admit it. She was a Latin Masser, so special thanks to thems not in the vernacular. ---

> [@dropzone](#): > > She’d publicly argue with your qualifier, but admit it. > > She was a Latin Masser, so special thanks to thems not in the vernacular. My Mom was in the hospital and asked Pop in the middle of the night was she really dying? Pop said, afraid so, and she said, OK, then here are the hymns I want sung at the funeral. The cantor did a beautiful job at Communion with: _In paradisum deducant te Angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem._ To your Mom too. ---

I know you’re not looking for sympathy, and it sounds like she led a very full life, but anything other than “I am sorry” seems weird. I’m sorry. ---

Making it to 93 and still have an eye for a cute butt? Not exactly high on the “Tragic Death” scale, is it? Leave 'em smiling - about as good as it gets. Thanks for a good exit line, Dropmom! ---

I won’t be going to the funeral because my asthma, weight, and arthritic knees limit my mobility, so I will send my staff as proxies. Thing 2’s fiance wants to go, too, just to go to Seattle. “He’s buying his own ticket.” Jebus, it’s like planning D-Day. Fortunately, Oldest is in hospitality and knows what to do.
