My son-in law just died.

12. Maybe I will talk to you more in-depth later.

I will tell you this much:

There have been many times I have gone to a visitation or sent a card, and avoided going to a funeral. Never again! I was so grateful to see the family and friends who travelled to Tom's funeral. They did not have to do this.

There will be a memorial service for him in Illinois this summer. I expect to see people from all over the world. He had friends everywhere.

Please go to memorials and funerals, people. Please send cards, if that is all you can do. Even though I have been through other losses, the outpouring of love really has struck a chord for me this time around.

I posted his obituary in the bereavement group, if anyone wants to see it.
