Help with words for "Celebration of Life" in lieu of funeral story?

That is incredible. There are no coincidences in God's World! btw, the nurse told me when my 85 year old grandmother passed in 1993 the she said she was going to see her deceased husband as well, SO healing!! Can you imagine the reunion after missing her husband (like your mother and her husband)?!?!

INCREDIBLE!

Not to get funny on you, but I had a comforting dream about old coins (quarters) after Jeanne passed, everytime I moved my foot in the sand on the beach new coins would show and glisten. In real life, she sent my daughter a 1926 quarter after we had her, I do believe that dream was from Grandma Jeanne, and I do believe your mother and God were in cahootz enabling you and your siblings to be there before she passed to be with her husband again.

 

This is amazing reading about your experiences and thank you all.

Quite naturally, with my wife and I both into our 70's we've lost parents and grandparents. I've lost a brother and she has lost a sister. Needless to say we've lost lots of aunts and uncles and cousins and friends. It is never easy though. I will add that my wife and I have planned our funerals along with purchasing burial plots and even have a stone in place that just needs the dates after we are gone. It will be unique too because we put our birthdates on the stone so that is shows we have the same birthdates (except 2 years apart). I highly advise others to pre-plan. However, that does not include pre-plan through a funeral home. It is usually best to put that money into a CD or money market rather than letting the funeral home have it.
