Mimi’s obituary, featuring a 20-year-old photo, but that’s the one she had picked out. She’d also written her obit, but no one could find it and my dad threw this one together in about ten minutes after searching the house for two days. He thinks the only organization he forgot was the symphony, but that list was already longer than the relatives…..

Also, what David said when he heard the news. You must understand that the hair color in that photo of her? Has been artificially produced for the last 40 years or so. (In fact, her hairdresser, Gloria, came to the funeral, and remembered me from the days when I tagged along as a wee bitty thing.) I laughed.

Remind me to tell you the urn story.

In other news, Daniel is doing much better.
