funeral monday
My mom’s uncle passed away on Thursday or Friday and the funeral is today. It’s nice to see everyone but I wish we all gathered around town for more than a funeral. All of mom’s relatives are so spread out though. There are centers of them in Dallas, St. Louis, St. Marys, and then some spread out to Topeka and Philadelphia. Getting us all in the same place seems somewhat impossible at times. The funeral seems to be okay. Last night at the visitation/prayer service all of his children seemed okay. He’s apparently been ready to die for about 6-8 months now and he was suffering a lot. I’m not really that upset about it either. And it’s a catholic funeral, which means I can pretty much avoid grieving at all cos no one gets to speak. Though I get the impression that the Kettermans were the only loud Rodenbaugh’s growing up. And probably Bobby and the rest in St. L.
