Im in awe at the amount of people that came to the funeral home today and tonight. You expect family and friends but to see nurses and techs from Mom's hospital stays and the Chaplain at the hospital amazes me. Taking care of her was their JOB and to see the impact she had on their lives was amazing. People from her job came by, crying and telling us how special a person she was. These were people she worked directly with and even ones she served in the cafeteria. They were shocked when they heard the news. A lady mom worked with took up a collection and gave us $422. Its unbelievable. There were SO many signatures on the card that they had to get 2 cards and there was not a spot left to write on. We are putting the money towards a head stone. Mom would have been pleased tonight. She looked amazing, not a wrinkle on her. lol I know she was happy about that. Her hair looked so nice, not at all like an old lady's, which she was worried would happen. She looked so comfortable. I swear, as i was up talking to her, she smirked at me. What a nice night. Poor Kendra was quite upset and did not want to walk up to see her. I wont make her as I wouldnt do it as a child either. She was ok the rest of the night because she saw me in good spirits and realizes how happier Gram has to be now.
