We buried my dad today after 4 years of home care after springing him and
mom from a nursing home. It was great! Lots of friends food and hooch and
we have a HUGE family. (Irish Catholic) The best part was the pastor at our
parish that presided over the Mass and burial had his fly open and his shirt
hanging out at the grave site...and of course, NOBODY would tell him, just
snicker. Dad would have LOVED it!!!

Condolences, Tom. We did the same for my Scottish MIL. Interestingly,
at her sendoff, a lot of older folks expressed serious doubts that any
of their kids would have done the same for them.

Say, he must have been a real character, judging by your posts. ;-)
Got any anecdotes? There's a cold Guinness in the fridge and I'm
looking for a good reason to pop it open.
