One of our local funeral homes (always wondered why they called it a "home"....) had a "marquise" outside telling who was there at the time. We jokingly would say, "Let's drive by & see who's playing today".<br /><br />Even after I'd been gone from the home town for 20 years, a conversation with my aunt would start, "You remember So & So.." "No, I don't remember them." "Well anyway, she died last week & we went to the funeral home..." Well of course, they went to the funeral home no matter WHO died! <br /><br />This was so funny to me because it sure took me back many years!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02467934040374323391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30016058.post-24047272784453537552010-05-06T14:28:31.409-05:002010-05-06T14:28:31.409-05:00Perfection.

It's moss green and looks more like a negligee than a dress. Maybe Mema wants to be remembered as more than a grandma?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30016058.post-11541909506098435272010-05-06T09:46:28.722-05:002010-05-06T09:46:28.722-05:00LOL.

The answer was no, but I think Momma regrets not burying one with him. . .one artificial one I mean. He had one REAL one when he died. . .but it only had four toes by then. And that is why I can totally and completely laugh at your story.Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483570734127165995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30016058.post-48948432145069665412010-05-06T06:38:31.940-05:002010-05-06T06:38:31.940-05:00Hilarious!
