What a week! And Friday topped it!
I had an appointment with a local client who wanted to see some items for her pet. On the way to the meeting, the phone rang and a friend of the client introduced herself as “J” and stated that she would be acting as a representative for the client. Long story short: the client had passed away the night before. She was 46.
Well, that was kind of odd.
Frankly I was a wee bit nervous, the client had special ordered several styles of our pet urns.
J was only interested in one item.
The day before she died, client told J about our meeting and how special the necklace was and that when she died she could be buried with her “baby” close to her heart.
J found my number on her friend’s cell phone noted as “urn lady”.
Next: We pack up the urn for my grandmother.
Dad sat in my living area used the laptop to pick out the urn.
Very courageous. As a retired firefighter from one of the busiest firehouses in the nation, he’s not exactly an advocate of cremation.In the car on the way to lunch, I asked my dad how he would eulogize his mother.
Silence.
Music UP: “I Did It My Way”.
What a story.
Maybe thats why my father-in-law cancelled the appointment my MIL had with the funeral home about preplanning.
My condolences on the loss of your grandmother. Did you really mean “pack”?
