Posted by Howard Fein on Mon Mar 24 10:06:38 2008, in response to R.I.P.Murray Fein 1919-2008, posted by Howard Fein on Mon Mar 17 09:26:37 2008. Finally back at work and glad to be- until I saw all the stuff waiting for me on voice and E-mail. I want to thank everyone for their expressions of condolence and good wishes. Much as we snipe at each other on this board, it just goes to show that when things get tough we do help each other at times of need.Two things I've learned: -"Sitting Shiva" is a contradiction in terms. I was too busy answering the phone, giving directions, running out for more soda, bringing in more folding chairs from the basement and other sundry tasks, there was no time or chance to sit. -When the deceased is old and death expected, the funeral and sitting period become essentially a prolonged wedding. Everyone at the chapel and the house was preoccupied with, since the previous wedding or funeral, who came; who didn't; who gained weight; who had liposuction/Botox; who [fill in name of perpetually divorced/single person] came with THIS time; who's not speaking to whom. And I'm SICK of saying "Thank you for coming." Thank you for coming. |
