Anvilhead - love the story of your mother's funeral. My mom's was similar BUT the 2 things she hated to wear in life were #1 - bra (she said she didn't have anything to hold up anyway) and #2 - shoes (said if God had meant for her to wear shoes, she'd have been born with them). A dear friend (Ruth) died years b4 mom and mom had always said that when she acted up she could feel Ruth "whopping me upside the head with her cane".
So, when we buried mom, I sent her off with NO bra and No shoes - I didn't want her to find Ruth's cane and whack me!
