Funeral in celebration of the life of Ruby
When Ruby died in 2010, the family asked me to conduct the funeral. Here are my notes for that occasion:
Five years before, on the occasion of Ruby's eightieth birthday, I had written a poem for her about our trip every Wednesday afternoon at that stage to the supermarket for our groceries. I had watched from that time as she had slowly become more confused abouit what to buy, and had completely forgotten her card number and/or how to use the card to pay for her groceries.
