I enjoy funerals and think there is nothing more uplifting than a funeral service for a Latter-Day-Saint who has lived a long fulfilling life.<br />Ormae sounds a bit like my Grandma. Her name is Oleta and she died at the age of 98 but had been pretty well deaf and blind for years. For the last few years of her life she was confined to a wheel chair, but she was still full of spunk and was fun to visit with. For her, death was a release. <br />She was able to leave behind her failing body and be reunited with her parents, siblings and her dear husband. At the time of her death we gathered together as a family to celebrate her life more than to mourn her passing. <br />I am so thankful that I know that this is not the end, our spirits continue on forever! I am so glad that we will all be able to see each other once our time here is done, and, like you said, 'get to know each other better.'
