Place Holder for Barbara's funeral

My Aunt Barbara passed away in August of inflammatory breast cancer. The cancer had spread in her body, as you would expect. But something unexpected was how the hospital handled her case. They were convinced that the lower abdominal pain was a problem with her gall bladder, and so they removed it. While still in the hospital recovering she remained very uncomfortable. After a few weeks they decided to give her a CAT scan to make sure it wasn't cancer. (Now, I'm no doctor, but...) Yes, it was cancer (the size of a softball) and they gave her 2-14 days to live and sent her home on hospice. She passed away just over a day after returning home. This is what I remember anyway. If any readers remember better, leave a comment. I hope to get better pictures on here of the hand made casket and flowers. Just after the funeral services. I guess I am glad that kids don't understand.
