We found a stake center in a little New York town where we could watch the Sunday morning session of general conference. As we got close we saw this funeral home and stopped to take a picture because we thought the name was so funny.
In the stake center was a very large friendly woman, wearing sweats and slippers and carrying a fleece blanket to snuggle in while she watched conference. We visited back and forth. She seemed so interested in us that I showed her this picture I had just created, thinking she would enjoy it. I asked her "Is this funeral home really pronounced Am I Gone?" She said "Yes, and funny thing, I just lost my husband 8 weeks ago."
I thought I was going to die of embarrassment. I said, "Oh! I am so sorry for your loss.".She said, "Oh that's ok, its a part of life." We continued to talk until conference started. She said that when they came to pick up her husband's body, they labeled her home a hoarder's house and she has 5 months to get it cleaned up or it will be condemned. Wow, you never know what is in a stranger's heart
We drove over the border into the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. It has the best view of both falls.
All this water is unfathomable to an Arizona girl.
I am enjoying every picture and every word. The funeral home is a killer....ooops.
