This week, I've been doing all of the things you have to do to arrange a
funeral. We had the visitation this evening and we're having the
funeral tomorrow. I guess my work is done once the estate is settled.
If you are so inclined, smoke one for "Boots" Burney (don't ask me about
her nickname, I have no idea) and remember her in your prayers.

Sorry to hear of your loss, Bill. If I am wrong about the whole
religion thing, then I hope she is in a 'better' place!

So, thanks for wading through this sad tale. I didn't really mean to
bring everyone down. I promise to return to my usual nonsense as soon
as possible.

Nahhh. Your mom lived to a ripe old age, and had her only son close
by to keep her company. That sounds like a good tale to me. All
stories eventually end.

I am proud to know you, and have been glad to hear of your mother's
life. My condolences for your loss, and I hope to see you back in old
form as soon as you feel like it.
