We buried Momma on Sunday...

Wow! That sounds like a BAD country song! LOL!! Anyway...

This is Momma, she is alive and well. You first have to know that Momma has a strange sense of humor and that she was a really good sport about this! She decided to get everything in order so the sisters and I wouldn't have to deal with it when the time comes.

Momma has picked out her plot and it beginning to plant her headstone. Of course, I am the one taking pictures and posing people for the shots!

We were very appreciative that Mike came along! There would have been NO WAY that she and I could have done this! Mike did mention that NO WHERE in our wedding vows did he agree to this, LOL!!!
After the hole was dug, then came the mixing of the cement. At this time, we would like to thank Cherie for her contribution to the cause...Thanks for the bucket!!!

Fourth step: Pour the cement for the headstone to stay in place. It was quick dry concrete so hopefully we won't find Mom's place marker down the hill.

Here, Mom is spreading the cement in order to place the stone.

Laying of the stone. Then Mom back filled around the stone to make everything even and tidy. She has OCD too!

Here lies Mom's headstone...God willing she won't be resting there for quite some time!! "Beloved Mother"??? LOL!! She is so funny!!! She did think of everything!!!!
Anyway...
Thank you for stopping by and hopefully these instructions will help in case you decide to save your children a little bit of time, money and grief.

I just love your momma...what spunk!
Also...Mike I have an all new appreciation for you and the role you have assumed as husband/
son-in-law in this slightly peculiar family ...it's a gift. Just do what they say and don't ask any questions. Keep up the good work!
