humlan, I think it's a blessing that her funeral is on the day of your daught'er's birthday. I hope you see it as such.

Please PM me and let me know where in the US you will be. If I recall, it's PA and I'm near enough to pay you a visit if it's near Philly. It's a crazy busy time of year. Will you be there through Christmas? I'd love to lay eyes on you and sit and chat a bit.
