I'm sorry for the loss of your FIL. It's never easy, even when it's expected. Your family is in my prayers.

Finally home.And there was a Big Fight before we left.Wife talked it over with her mom about fixing up a collage of pictures of her dads life for the Memorial,she said that was fine,to have the other kids help if they want.Well we was looking on the computer for the pictures I had,her Brother walks in asked what we was doing? I showed him a picture of a get together with his Dad surrounded with some of the other Kids.He says we don't want other people in the pictures just Bust pics of his Dad.I explained that that would make it borring if that is all that was in the pics,that we needed pics of what was going on,to show things he enjoyed and how he Loved being with family.Well he left then come back jumped all over my wife that she was trying to run the whole show,then run to his Mom.Then my wife was asking her about a picture and she jumped my wife.

Well wife picked out several pictures and tried showing them to her Brother he wouldn't talk to her.So her other Brother came,so my wife asked him to take the pictures and ask him.So her Brother goes out to talk with his Brother,he didn't want to talk about the pictures.But he told his Brother if he was planning on getting anything of his Dads forget it because he is taking it all and moving their Mom up with him.That went over real well.

Then he backs his Pickup into the Garage and was loading up stuff.Plus my wife seen him taking money out of their Moms Purse.He told her that he took it to keep from getting in trouble.

Well like I told my wife all that stuff is her Moms and she can do with as she likes

Plus my wife hadn't ever been with anyone taking their last breath.I thought she had but no.I know it really had to be hard with her Dad.

Oh well got to go back there in a bit.Thanks for Prayers.

My condolences to Tina and Family.

It is very hard losing a parent so be strong and supportive for her David and keep the bickering to a minimal with family. Hang in there friend.

For what it is worth; i like the picture idea fro the memorial.

Prayers and Hugs to you all

The collage idea is a great one, my wifes faimly did that when htheir dad passed, one brother put it on his laptop and made a slide show (using a computer projector the Church had) that was playing on the wall where the reception was -- they were picture takers and had close to 100 pics - everyone loved it, brought back many memories of events and reminded people of lots of stories.

Your BiL sounds like a real case.

My ex-bil passed away a couple months ago, they did that at his funeral. It brought back so many memories for the family. They were really good ones. It helps to remember the good times. I wish thay had something like that when my parents passed.

When my mother passed my aunt, her sister tried to start something at the funeral over a picture of my mother and sister and two brothers. My mother had given it to me before she died and my aunt wanted it. I didn't let her have it, but gave it to my oldest brother. Worst mistake I ever made. HE LOST IT AT THE AIRPORT on the way back home to Calif.

Just try to keep Tina away from her brother if at all posible.
