I guess, but a black suit would have been better, and the lenght is NOT appropriate..OK..I'm a curmeudgeon..
I see your point though.
When you attend a funeral, you can tell all the women around you what they can wear. (If they let you) :)
My grandparents belonged to a pentacostal norwegian church in New Haven, CT.
White is most certainly an appropriate color for morning if you truly believe in life after death. In their church, death was a time of celebration as the deceased had moved on to a better place.
As far as skirt length, Patti was always a bit of a rebel. I've been to too many funeral services where much worse has been worn. I really woudn't be surprised if this was hardest on Patti. It always is on the child whom has given the parent the most grief in life.
Agreed - a few of us gathered in one of the managers' office to watch. I guess I'm getting old and cranky too, but I would've liked to see Patty looking a little more dignified in her dress and hairstyle.
