My siblings: Neil, Chris, Lisa, Lorin
Joanna, Natalie, me at mom's headstone.
KeithThe funeral went very well. Lisa planned it beautifully. Aside from the occasion it was nice to see everyone. It meant alot that everyone would be there for us and Keith. Funerals are always quite healing. I never before realized how your emotions can cause such physical pain. Those first couple of days were awful. My poor kids still talk about having to watch me scream on the floor right after Joanna called me. We've all gone through most of the stages of greiving. Once in awhile I still deal with anger about it, but for the most part I'm glad to say we are all doing much better.

I can't even imagine what you and your family have gone and continue to go through. There have only been a few times when emotions have caused me physical pain. From what I saw, all of you handled Keith's loss very admirably and I was once again impressed by your strength. Our thoughts and prayers remain with you.
Although I was uable to be there for the services, my thoughts and prayers were. Thank you for including a little bit about the funeral.
Julie thanks for posting those pictures of Keiths funeral on your blog. Just reading it made all the feelings come back and I miss him all the more. I still have days when I feel the need to cry. I'm glad to hear that we are not alone and we all feel like crying. Love you all.
