The weather was great for Mom's funeral and memorial yesterday.  Family and friends came to show their support and love for Mom and her family.  Brother Carl gave words of comfort at both the graveside service and the memorial.  Portland Baptist Church provided food for the family and guest.

At the graveside service, who should show up but 2 of my Jackson gamer comrades.  Jay Stribling rescheduled a doctors appointment and Ed Sansing drove him the 150 miles from Jackson, Ms.  Their surprise appearance brightened up my mood on that day.  They left after the memorial service and I will see them on my next trip.
