ok, so i survived the 2nd memorial service, attended by my brother and his son, who lives with him in d.c.- as well as my mother's sister from cleveland and her husband and their daughter (1 year younger than me) and her husband and daughter (age 21- the same age as my brother's son). many of my dad's workmates from osu came, as well as many of their old church friends. several relatives came from dad's side of the family- his oldest sister, and 3 nieces and 1 nephew and their families. it was a nice service, as these things go- cayle asked where we would go for the next service, and i was relieved to tell her that this was the final event......
