Anyone who knew Elaine's cremation/same box story was a very lucky person. I shared this story with friends and they loved it and shared with their friends. Elaine had the best sense of humor even with thinking about the most serious illness. Loved her from the day she became a part of family because she loved my brother.
Oh, the memories! Your mother was an amazing Girl Scout leader - and to this day I am still involved with the council here in Northern Minnesota - due to both leaders influence on my life. Hugs, my friend. I understand the depth of your loss and wish you peace.
