Sounds like a good note to me. And it sounds very *you*! And that's a good thing. You know that any of us will do whatever we can to make this right for you two. If it turns out that it is best to not have a lot of us come you just need to clue us in.

Until then, I will continue my quest for a Hawaiian shirt! LOL

I want all who want to come from here to come! We are planning for some of ya that can come to come! (and we are serious about getting a webcam working for those that can't)

The big unknown for me are whether cousins that I haven't seen in a couple years (at the last funeral) and all their kids really need to be invited. I can't imagine wondering about that, given how close our family was, but the truth is, the extended family was held together by people who are now gone. Without Grandma and my mom there to organize things, we never think about each other any more.

I am leaning toward immediate family and friends that are really still close, not everyone I have ever known and rarely see anymore. That list is about 40 (including children).... the larger list of my cousins and extended family on Bruce's side (who we might invite but they won't probably come this far) ends up being around 75.
