Missing My Friend....

[Marilyn]

Thank you all for your kind thoughts. We went to her visitation last night and are going to the funeral this morning. Her daughters had typed out and framed some of her favorite scriptures and quotes. The one that really struck me was "Only the shell is left, the nut has gone." This is sooo Becky. She tried to make light of any situation affecting her to help people to feel better. She's having a closed casket and not at the church building. She doesn't want us to go to worship and remember her funeral there, and the closed casket is so we will remember her as she lived. Also, she said her mouth would be closed and we had never seen her with her mouth closed. She had a lot of spunk. She's left quite a legacy.

Also, there weren't a lot of flowers there. She made it clear that she didn't want a lot of flowers. The funds should anyone wish to donate should go to the church. Also, her funeral is here, and her burial in the Panhanle. She said they couldn't transport all those flowers there, it would be too much trouble for everyone to deal with them. Always thinking of others. On her casket rather than a large floral spray was a long stemmed yellow rose, her open Bible, her glasses, handkerchief and such.
