We found a beautiful casket for Mom. After we picked it out we were told its an original, custom made only for Bueler's. Isn't that fitting. Its wood with a hand carved flower trim, eyelet lining and pillow and antique brass handles.
10 of the 13 children (who are in town) and Dad went together. Connie and Steve warned us that going to choose the casket is rough. Just walking into the mortuary made it all seem very real again. They were wonderful. Its very comforting to have her being taken care of by LDS friends who knew and love her too.
Dad asked if he could see her. They were very accommodating. After all the business was done they took us to see her. We went into a very nice room where she was lying on a table with a quilt and pillow. It was reverent and emotional. Its hard to believe that she's really gone. I am grateful for worthy brothers with the Priesthood who standing nearby bring strength. Like the many doctors and nurses Mike from Bueler's commented on Mom's great hair. It did look fabulous. We still wanted to be together and be there for Dad so we went out for lunch before taking Dee to the airport.
