Allen,
I am dumbfounded. I thought she was doing OK.

I will truly miss her. She was a good friend to all of us during high school and college.

Please call me and let me know when the funeral is bud.

I am here for you.

Maybe im using the wrong term then, but what im trying to refer to is a party to celebrate the loved one's passing, so you can remember all the good stuff with close family and friends.

Aww, Spleen, no.

Sorry to hear that.

I'm not sure it has a name.. Most churches call it a 'luncheon'.. When I go, I want people to have fun and get drunk.

I went to the visitation last night. It was somber, but I had time to spend with Alan and his family. I also saw my old college days roomate, saw him last over 20 years ago.

Alan is doing OK, his children, both teenagers, are kinda in shock. But I think everyone is going to be alright.

Thanks for everyone's prayers.
