She also told all 5 of us she wanted us to put her remains in the trunk of our cars, so she could travel & back seat drive us always.

My sister in law Kim, was horrified at the fact the 4 of us laughed loudly & long.

At the minute, Mom is still with my SIL & (the good) brother in a very nice urn on the table with family photos.

I'm okay with this.

Thank you Marthe for checking in.
