The funeral

Lee's funeral was yesterday. It went as well as can be expected; the weather was beautiful, the service was low-key, secular, and celebratory of her life. After the funeral her son invited people over to the house, and it was a nice gathering; he said his mum would have been proud of the party we had in her honour. I met a couple of his childhood friends who, it turns out, live only a few blocks away.

Ms McD has emailed me saying she's lost her purse and needs money. I'll see what I can scrape up for her, but I won't be able to send much. These things are sent to try us...
