the funeral home....

ok, so we all went tot he funeral home in lexington last night.......the big yellow one on the harrodsburg road that is every bit as huge inside as it appears from the road......by the full parking lot we assumed that there was more than one funeral going on.....no....this was all for larry.....we waited 30 minutes in line before actually getting a chance to hug the widow and speak softly to his sons and mother........the only brightness to lighten the mood was the flowers.......incredible flowers......there was a spectacular vase full of calla lilies.....so simple and so elegant...and so eloquent an ellegy to our friend.......i can think of no purer a tribute than a vase of calla lilies......that will be the worst part of my own demise.....apart from the being dead part......i will not get to see the flowers...what was sent and who sent them......being a reasonable person, i would probably request at the end that no flowers be sent....that tress be planted in my name instead.......but last night, i was wowed by the floral display.....
