22nd November 1996

i.m. Aunt Marjorie

The day of her funeral it
snowed, the only day of the
year on which there was
snow. The cortege crawled to
the chapel. Afterwards in
the cemetery, we
clustered in groups,
recalling the clusters who
kept watch by her bed. 'A
lovely service so it was,'
people kept saying, and
the snow lay there like
confetti.

Ah yes, the Irish have different mindsets of funerals, leaving better memories in the main. Loved this simple verse leaving a sad peacehandshake

Hi, Snowfox9,
I love the imagery in and the snow lay there like confetti. In Remembrance.
