ok..just want someones opinion on weather or not you think thank you cards should be given out after a funeral..
before you vote, here are the facts concerning the situation..
1. She was in the hospital and nursing home, no1 called or sent flowers for the entire time, except for our neighbor, who was thanked.
2. The ICU staff who was instramental in getting me home from iraq and was in constant contact with my wife the whole time i was in transit, was thanked with an edible arrangement, and thank you note.
3. The nursing home staff who took care of her was thanked in the same manor as well..
4. The elder members, and some of the younger generations were upset that we chose cremation instead of the typical 3 day deal (2 day viewing, funeral, church, cemetary, and then after service luncheon) and criticized our decision and there was talk about not coming..i guess they thought we were gonna chuck her into a maxwell house coffee can..but my wife, myself, and my aunt made an outstanding display to include flowers rosarys and such..and when they finaly came they were like..oh..i didnt expect that..
4. In the obituary, we posted instead of flowers, make donations to the humane society or the church..
5.These people never made an attempt to do anything for her, through out her whole life ( my mother had special needs), now, im not saying to drive 2 hours to take care of her, but you know..if shes your neice or grand daughter, you know..
i think thats about it, i mean if anyone needs more clarification on anything, let me know..
