"I posted this on Facebook because I thought it was funny, but I forgot that I would probably look like a sociopath for mentioning that it was spotted at my mother-in-law's funeral. Please don't think that? I'm just looking back at this with a more distant perspective."

Having had a REAL HARD year when it comes to grief, I think it's very important for many of us to be able to find things to laugh at in the midst of it.

Thank you for sharing these stories. I like the image of Margaret the tidy mouse.

Also, the Communion blessing alternative has sounded super awkward many of the times people have mentioned it; unless they demo what to do nobody knows what to do! In my parents' church you just stay in your pew which is also a bit awkward. I'm just as glad they didn't opt to do it at my brother's service (but I got up and mentioned being Jewish in my eulogy and got them to include "el malei rachamim" in the service so people can deal, and as far as I can tell they dealt or stayed quiet about not dealing!).
