Funeral: The Best Person I Ever Knew

I just got in from the funeral of Minde Lee Slate, the best person I ever knew. She was just less than a month of her 88th birthday. My mother and she were best friends, more a mother and daughter relationship, from my angle. I knew Lee from my earliest days on earth to today. Nothing but good memories and a life full of family elegance and successes for several generations through her three daughters.

I decided I'd rather be burned on a pyre than buried in the ground, though.
