 JM>>  He asks in lieu of flowers, that memorials be made in her name to
 JM>> The Food Pantry Ministry at Geyer Springs United Methodist Church,
 JM>> 5500 Geyer Springs Road, Little Rock, Arkansas 72209.

 DS> Thank you for the post...and I appreciate everyone's condolences,
 DS> thoughts, and prayers.

I was thinking of sending a donation for the Food Pantry, but realized
that I don't know your mom's name to make it in memory of...

 JM>>  He will be absent for a few weeks.

 DS> Well, I've been using the BBS, plus my 2 other hobbies of square
 DS> dancing, and ham radio, as "diversional therapy".

Very wise... :)  It also keeps you in touch with your support systems...
a very good thing at this point... :)

 DS> One comforting item on Saturday, the day after her death, was that
 DS> besides the Today In History deal with the Burma Shave ad I have here,
 DS> I have other things setup...like Today's Blooper, Random QWK Tagline,
 DS> Pun In History, Weather History (data after 1990 is partial), Random
 DS> Quote, and Random Bible Verse. Of the latter, the verse that came up
 DS> yesterday was Psalm 116:15: "Precious in the sight of The Lord is the
 DS> death of His Saints". From what I understand, she went peacefully.

That is indeed a comfort... and a nice providence for you... :)

 DS> Anyway, when I talked to the funeral director on Friday (the day my
 DS> Mom died), he said that "it was wise to wait until after my urinary
 DS> bladder surgery, before proceeding with the funeral plans", and "the
 DS> full obituary will be on our website, and in the program".

Sounds like you have a good and helpful funeral director to work with...
another blessing... :)

 DS> Yesterday, repeated thunderstorms dropped nearly 5 inches of rain
 DS> here in under 8 hours. The Little Rock Fire Department had to do
 DS> numerous water rescues as a result. Flash Flood Warnings were in
 DS> effect, and many areas have signs noting "ROAD UNSAFE WHEN UNDER
 DS> WATER". Yet, it's as if a bunch of folks wanted to vie for a Darwin
 DS> Award. :P 

You'd think that they'd be more sensible.... 

 DS> Today (Sunday) through Tuesday, we're dealing with Heat Advisories
 DS> and Excessive Heat Warnings...temperatures near 100, and heat indexes
 DS> at least 115 to 120. I'm more than ready for cooler weather.

Hopefully that will be soon.... and better already... :)
