Re: Sad and Funny Day
I'll tell you what I have been at funerals lately where the women wear dressed anything but modest.I know outside of grace people don't have Holiness,but still common sense teaches one to be respectful at funerals.

...Well. The bagpipe playing in and of itself sent me into a very inappropriate and untimely fit of giggles...our church isn't huge, it certainly isn't a hillside in Scotland, and when that guy fired up and started down the aisle, I nearly lost it. To make it worse, apparently there was some huge sentimental value to the poor deceased saint's grown granddaughter who was sobbing the whole time, which added to my amusement. (Yeah, I was sittin' up front by the organ, in plain sight...my best friend elbowing me in the ribs.) I had to bite my tongue till it nearly bled to stop myself from ruining the funeral and my somber, appropriate image. 
Word To The Wise: Bagpipes are great if they're about a block or more away. Any closer than that...  |

If I had known THAT while we were listening to "I'm checkin' outta here", I would have pulled a Miss Brattified! LOL

Re: Sad and Funny Day
The worst I have seen is when we were at my DIL's mother's wake and a teenage girl came in and sat in front of us in running shorts! My husband still comments on what people wear to funerals.

The really beautiful thing about this story is that my brother was able to give a moving and relevant thought without trying to put Michael in Heaven or Hell.

Dizzy your Bro. is da man, that is the second time in a year that I know of he has had to do this type of thing.

Yeah, I was really proud of him, he definitely is my "big" brother in spirit, if not in age!
