Beautiful funeral Mass

The granchildren placed the white baptismal cloth on the casket and the undertakers rolled my mother's casket to the front of the church with the children, grand children and great-grandchildren following. The music was words set to Beethoven's "Ode to Joy," Immaculate Mary because my mother prayed the rosary, "I am the Bread of Life" and "On Eagle's Wings." My daughter and nephew read the readings, two of my children presented the bread and wine. After the Mass, we had a reception at the parish activity center. The interrment was later in the afternoon. Some friends and family spent some time at my dad's house after. My dad was disappointed that his brother and sister did not come, but I believe that my aunt's husband was having a difficult time. After I came home, I fell asleep for the night. I am working today, the first time in over a week. Had to deal with a couple problems, but I can't think of my mother when I am dealing with orders. I have tried calling my dad twice with no luck. I have to put some kind of safeguard in place.
