The day l was dreading finally came...............Mum was Catholic and we as a family were wondering what type of service mum would have but when we arrived at the church * Father Joe * was waiting to greet us and he did like we were long lost friends, the service was absolutely lovely even though l did lose it during the service but one nice surprise was that my sister passed me some tissue and wrapped in it was a beautiful solid silver bracelet with three charms on it spelling mum, when we got out side the church l gave her a kiss and she told me she brought it for me as l was the one that was always closest to mum and knew would be hard for me.
When we arrived at the churchyard we did have a chuckle as we saw * Father Joe* who was in his late fifties getting off a harley davison motorbike.
After mum was interred we went back to my sister-in-law parents house who kindly travel back from Lytham St. Annes so we could have a base in Fareham to have a nice cuppa and some snacks after the funeral.
All in all the day l had been dreading was a lovely day for my Mum, the send off that would have made her proud.
I would also like to say a big thankyou to everyone on here that have supported me and sent lovely messages when my mum was ill, THANKYOU, xx

Awwhhhhh That sounds lovely Mummo,

My Mum was a Catholic too ....and your mums service has just reminded me of my Mum.

Only difference was ....no Harley Davidson though...!!

Glad it went well , now at least it will help you and all your family get through what we all dread ....Funerals ...

Mummo,

What a sad day for you all but as you think back on it you will have a smile as you think of Father Joe and his motorcycle. Your sister has demonstrated what a wonderful family you must belong to, and how proud your Mum must have been of you all.

Love,

Mummo I've been thinking of you today and I'm glad to hear that there were some lighter moments to get you through a difficult day.
Father Joe sounds like a one off and I'm sure your Mum would have been proud of you all helping each other.

Take care.
