RE: About the death of my parents: The funeral
Your parents look happy in that photo. Again, thanks for sharing.

That funeral sounds frustrating for sure, especially when things that are important to you and other loved ones get over looked. The media part should be illegal. Sad people can have such disrespect and disdain for privacy during a difficult time. It reminds me of mob mentality.

RE: About the death of my parents: The funeral
Man, you almost made me cry, and I don't even know you. Beautifully said, what you did for your parents with the flowers and a beer was beautiful.

Do not forget to pay a visit to the priest in a few months, when things settle down, he needs to hear that what he did was wrong, so maybe you will help someone else, if the priest hears what you are saying. I'm sure I would have snapped in the middle of everything, and that would be a far worse disaster. You handled it very well.

I've tried a couple of times to write a reply here... both times I just got so angry reading about this priest that I just left it.

All of us are thinking of you.

RE: About the death of my parents: The funeral
I keep wanting to say something but I just can't and I'm gathering some water in my eyes.

Wonderful people your parents, what a tragic loss...
