Thank you all for the kind words and virtual hugs and prayers. I have only
been involved in making arrangements twice in my life -so far. Once was for
my Dad over 35 years ago and the other time was for my sweet, wonderful MIL
less than 10 years ago. Now I will help my DH through the arrangements for
his Dad tomorrow.

Right now we're trying to make the necessary arrangements to get my stepson
home from Marine base in California. Shouldn't be a difficult task
considering he is not in Iraq or other overseas deployment, but he just left
our home on Monday to head back to base. You see, he was home to attend the
funeral of his maternal grandmother. Two grandparents passed away within a
week of each other! When I mentioned this to my DH he replied that it was
even stranger that all four grandparents died in the month of January!
