Thanks for the response for mom's obituary... it is always a difficult thing to write. I also wrote the one for my dad. It is such a relief to have that part of the ordeal over.. that and picking up the ashes and death certificates. So many hours went into this much so far and we still have a memorial to put on.... trying to keep it simple and mostly family... as the family alone will be over 65!!!!.... As the obituary said, it will be held in a wonderful park in Ojai. My mother never drove a car so my dad would come home from work and pick all of us up and take us to 'Camp Comfort'. We were living in a trailer most of this time as my dad was building our home... by himself... so my mom was thrilled to get out of the car and let her 5 kids rip through the park.. swings, merry-go-rounds.. and a stream with lots of critters. We must have driven her crazy living in the trailer but our new home was a dream. Finished when I was a teenager we were all so happy. So many wonderful memories... |

Carol I'm so glad you are able to get out and not be cooped up in the apartment all the time. So many older people believe they are "done for" and just huddle up in their little places. Lala I wrote my girl's obit. It was not an easy ordeal but I think she was pretty well represented for her sweet short life. I liked that you brought your dad into this it seemed so complete and sweet. I'm sorry that you lost her and I know you and your family will miss her deeply. Akeelah had her first puppy play time at send rover on over! She didn't have a puppy her same size to play with but she will next week. This one lab puppy kept barking at her and then run away backward from her. She didn't bark or growl but didn't back away either. The puppy she will have to play with next week will be an 8 week old great dane. That should be fun!!!
