At the funeral I learned that mom's friend Bev (who for a long, long time was mom's best friend) will not be the best source for answers about her life. Some of the things she said to Jebra were out-and-out incorrect and we knew it. On the other hand, some of what she said was probably true and things I didn't know (like her belonging to some organizations that I didn't know she was a part of before her strokes). It was funny to me how incensed she was at the obituary for what was left out. Mom wrote the thing herself and yes, she lost a lot of her memory of the past as a result of her strokes, but none of that seemed so important it 100% should have been in the obit. She was also mad that the number of grand and great-grand kids wasn't provided. I talked that over with my brother Rob before he sent the obit in for publication but like me he isn't sure just how many there are. My nephew Travis doesn't know and he's more than likely the father of the majority of them.
