Subject: RE: BS: Obit: My Former Mother-in-Law...
Good for you for keeping her wishes. My dad didn't want to cause any fighting between his kids and his second wife, so never would say which place he wanted to be buried...her family plot in whoknowswhere Utah or with his parents and grandparents and the rest of the family in Colorado. He had told me he'd prefer cremation, but she's of LDS extraction and would have all of what that entails. So, I will never visit his grave and regret not speaking up to her when she asked what we kids preferred, not that that made any difference. I know he's not there and it doesn't matter at all, but he had such a love of the CO place and instilled such love in us, it just doesn't seem right for him not to be there.
Sorry for the drift, but I just had to say I respect you so much, Bobert, for doing that for Judy.
