Perhaps funerals are not for oneself

Perhaps no., but I think the wishes of the deceased should be repsected. We're Roman Catholic and I will be happy with a Rosary and the Church's rites.

It's not that I don't agree with you. I hope you understand that.

God Bless you. I'm a Protestant but my mother was a Catholic. People wishes should be respected.

I think so too. It's difficult to plan a funeral when the departed has not made his or her wishes known, and that happens all too often with sudden and accidental deaths.

May it be a very long time, in any case, before this is of matter.

I've been to Stroudsbourg, but not heard of Effort. That's the Poconos region, isn't it?

That's true or it might be today or tomorrow. :)

Nonetheless, I think President Ford's service today was very special.

It;s a fact though -- I watch Big World, Little People and I learned from that show that little people have more of a tendancy to gain weight that normal size people.

I'd have liked being a little taller just to be able to reach things high up, i.e. in cabinets or on those store shelves! Tired of tippy toeing!
