Epilogue

Our family gathered together today to take Marie to her final resting place which is a niche near the statue of St. Michael and very near to where Mike was laid to rest two years ago. It was a simple event, just immediate family and a few prayers (including the Prayers of Faithful that we didn't read at the funeral). Afterward, we went to lunch at Palermo's. Lauren suggested we go around and each share a favorite memory of Grandma. It was so special. Lots of laughs and wonderful stories.
It was such a cold, gray winter's day, but it was made warmer by the love of family and knowing that Grandma is safely home.
