Nanna was cremated at the Mt Thompson crematorium today. Anne and I attended together with about 25 other people. The travel bans meant that none of her grandchildren other than Joe were able to attend. We had a very good video speech from Paul however. Nanna's favourite song was played: The Bluebird of Happiness. She used to sing it. The whole occasion was relaxed but dignified.
Anne accompanied me to the occasion and Jenny sat with Jeff during the service
The funeral chapel
After that was the wake at Jenny's place. The food was good and a nice party resulted. Jenny and her friends organized it. I went for the sandwiches as usual.
Both Anne and I talked to Jeff a bit and Joe sat with me for a while in his usual silent but companiable way. It was good to see Timmy and Rachel there. Rachel is "showing" now. Timmy was looking dapper in his suit. Ken and Maureen also attended, as did Mark and his ladies
At Jenny's request, none of us wore black. I wore a red flannelette shirt and Anne was dressed in shades of beige. She is dressing very well these days. Kate was very nicely dressed in blue and Joe was dressed in greys
