It's been a stressful week and the blog took a back seat while our minds were focused on giving Mum an appropriate farewell. We arrived in Wollongong on Saturday and had a meeting with the representative of the funeral directors. He was very solemn, which I suppose is his professional persona, and we found ourselves reflecting his mood although none of us was the least bit hysterical. Although we were sad that Mum had gone, in reality she had left us several months before and we're pragmatic enough to know that her life had reached its natural end.
Sandy's and Jenny's friend, Nerida, was the celebrant. She knew Mum and was able to speak about her from personal knowledge. We were delighted with the roll-up: lots of people from her church and other organisations she belonged to. There were neighbours as well, all of whom remembered Mum with real affection. Sandy and I both spoke and, all-in-all, we felt it was a good send-off.
