Prayers Needed........

[JJJ]

You are the best grandma Diana.

I'm happy to hear that Damon will be allowed to go to the funeral. Many hugs and positive thought for tomorrow.

[Janet]

So good that Damon will be able to attend the services. You're right, he will need to be there for his own peace of mind and closure. Why would they want to say hurtful things toward DaeLynn? I'm glad she is such a strong young woman and I know will be able to handle anything that comes her way.

I'm so glad that Damon will be able to attend the services. It is very hard when a dysfunctional family is involved. Janet, I remember when Gary's mom died suddenly and unexpectedly. I had to step up and make some decisions right after she passed away, because no one could think straight. After a couple of days, some of his sisters lashed out at me - why? - no good reason except for stress. An unexpected death in a family with lots of people who are very emotionally upset, can make for some very strange happenings. Everything will be OK in time.

Diana you have been a wonderful anchor for Karlie. I'm glad she has you.

I read to Dae Lynn all of your remarks and she is very touched. Thank you so much!! It just shows her how close we all are.

Gayle, thank you for sharing about Gary's family. I think that will help Dae Lynn realize that it is stress that caused Tessa to say harsh things to her. Tessa has apologized but still it's hard to forget what's been said.

Today will be hard so please remember the family in prayer. The funeral is at 3:00 so it's not an early funeral service.

My prayers are with you all, Diana.

Thank you.

The funeral went well. Our pastor did the speaking and he did a very nice job. It was nice to finally see Damon and let him know how sorry I was for the loss of his mother. I know that it was so hard for him. The only thing that I wasn't pleased about was that Margaret had asked for the song "Prop me up beside the juke box" to be played at her funeral. I would have assumed that she was joking but.......nope, it was played. I was glad that it wasn't actually during the service but was played after the funeral service.

It does seem a sort of strange song for a funeral, but if it's what she wanted...what's it hurt.

I'm glad other than the song everything went well for the service. I feel so bad for Damon. I bet Karlie was sure glad to have her dad with her for a little while wasn't she? Will continue to keep DaeLynn and you all in my prayers.
