I finally got my husband's obit done

[imavoter]

But at this point at almost a year, it will
be an in memoriam.

Gonna cost a lot, it's long.
But he deserves it.
He had an interesting life.

I feel so proud getting it done.
And he deserves a long form obit.

Thanks for your support.
It was hard to get it done.

August 12th makes a year.

1. I am sorry for your loss

I had to help on the obit for my ex-father-in-law a while back

2. I didn't go the traditional route

and a friend managed the crematorium.
So saved a lot, but I had to do all the parts
myself.... beyond that Texas still requires
"Funeral Director" to manage the body basically.
There wasn't a funeral home.
Tomorrow I call and fall over when I get the prices,
but it is what it is.
At least it's done.

5. After I made a photo album after a loved one's passing, I realized what a full life he'd had. I felt

so much better.

10. I have more things like that to do

But one thing at a time.
Finishing things for him makes me
feel better.

I bet those photos were great.

7. My father

died on August 12 last year. They just finally got his marker placed on his grave yesterday. Apparently there was an employee not doing their job. They ended up firing that individual back in the spring and its taken this long to catch up. I was told late last year they were behind on getting the markers in. I was a fool to believe that.

8. Here all the stone makers are backed up.

I think partially understaffed, covid extra dead, and
the stone I ordered is on back order from
China.
If I had wanted pink Texas stone it would
probably be in already.

They just finally poured the concrete foundation,
so I'm assuming they will get the stone in this century.

The president of the cemetery association, my husband is burried in is a small 501c3, says that all the stone makers here are backed up.

9. That's weird we have that day in common

I'm sorry for your loss.
