Comments: A Funeral

My condolences on losing your uncle, he sounds like an amazing man. But I wish you hadn't put that visual in my mind in that last paragraph!
I am not very good with funerals either, because of the emotional stress of the situation I tend not to think before I say something so I usually end up saying something really stupid before the end of the funeral!

White South Africans do not generally have funerals - cremations are more our style, which is a whole lot better (in respect of the ceremony i.e.).

My condolences to you and Stacey.

You do paint a very visual picture there... ah, thanks... or not.

i'm so sorry for your loss. i don't do funerals either. i've only done 2 in my 31 years on this planet ... and that's 2 too many.

Sorry to hear of your Uncle. I'm glad there was a little levity somewhere in your weekend. Take care you guys.

Sorry to hear about your uncle. And now I'm feverishly trying to rid myself of the visual with the MD.

First of all - my condolences to your family, but sounds like Uncle had a good life. No regrets except time ran out.

AS to the other - now I know for sure what that yellow stuff is in discarded plastic bottles of Dew on the side of the road. I wondered....

I hope you weren't trying to pee while driving roads through western PA hills. my husband grew up outside PBGH near the ohio border, and i am afraid to drive on those roads when in perfectly clear mind and empty bladder.

condolences on the loss of the uncle. it sounds to me like he went on wonderful terms. that's the way to go. good for him and may his immediate family bear the love associated with his life and calm parting, and less of the grief associated with the loss.

Sorry to hear about your uncle. He has hopefully found peace.

I'll never look at Mountain Dew in the same light again.
