That sounds lovely DR FREDDIE.


The result is lovely to have. 

It wasn't great that my brother Macbeth and his wife Lady Joann Macbeth of Cranford NJ took total control and gave no one besides my brother Macbeth room to speak -

But brother Macbeth did speak very very well, and they chose videos and photos very well, I would agree.

Amazon Fresh must be busy today.  I placed an order just now and the first time frame they could schedule the delivery was for 7 to 9 PM.

My scapula showed mild improvement yesterday. The in-laws are still in the hospital, but also mildly improved. Canada doesn’t boot you out of the hospital as fast as possible. The flip side is you might sit in there unseen by a doctor for a couple days at a time.


More health vibes for your family, Rodzinski.

Thank you, sir.

Is that part of the custom?

Bests the alternative custom of letting her fall into the hole.

Thanks for the background, JRand.

All dressed up and ready for a trip to bountiful....er....I mean....Sugar Grove.

My maternal great grandfather and his sisters gave the land for the cemetery in the 1890's.....most of my mother's relatives are buried there.

I wish they kept it up a bit more.....but it's still a nice place.  Not sure how they will handle the opening in this weather....s**w on the ground and 11 degrees....but it is just a cremation box...not the whole B I G thing.

We shall see.

I think it is really great that your family donated the land for the cemetery.  I hope the service goes well.

I'm glad your scapula is somewhat improved.  Vibes it will improve much faster now.

I can't imagine not seeing a doctor at least once a day while in the hospital.  Did a doctor at least admit them?

Thanks to everyone for the nice posts.

It was very cold.  My cousin put her mother's container in its place along with the ashes of her mother's cat who had passed was cremated last summer.

My cousin, her daughter and grandson, a friend from her work, myself and cousins Carol & Marcie [sisters] were there.

After a moment of silence I read the poem "Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep" the performance of which will probably get me the Tony nomination this year.

And then we all came home.

It sounds short but sweet.

Both the in-laws are in rooms of their own, not sitting in a hall or anything, to be clear. Nurses come by.

I did figure as much.  Hopefully the nurses stop by often.  I've had a few "interesting" experiences.

DR RODZINSKI they did it yesterday.  They use a hot heater pointed straight at the ground for a few hours.

It was a small square since it was for a cremation box but it was six feet deep.  My cousin laid on her front on a blue cloth, the attendant held her feet and she dropped the box in.  The attendant gave her the option of letting him do it, but she wanted to do it herself.  Then she dropped the cat container in afterwards.

Oh my.

DR MichaelG --

No hurry whatever, but could you do me a quick favor if you still have GenealogyBank kicking around? It's great they have the Columbus Dispatch, and I wonder if they have the Danbury News-Times in Connecticut. I'll take a subscription at some point when I have time to spend on either of these areas, just looking for a heads up. Thanks!

Yes, they have the Danbury News-Times from March 1951 through mid-July 1997.

Starting Aloha, Bobby and Rose. It's not a great movie, but I love the soundtrack. It started with Artie Shaw's Begin the Beguine, then cuts to Elton's great Bennie and the Jets. The rest has been like that.
