Sam and I talked bout it. I know you might not agree, but I think mom and dad would. We're gonna let the nursing home take care of the details, not have a public interment or service. When the world is warmer (mom always liked spring and fall), we'll go to the gave site (which is why I believe graves are important, dammit!) and hold our own goodbyes in private. We'll pour a Pabst over the plot, tell her we love her, and say our goodbyes. It'll be in the spring, I think, and we can go camping at Turkey Run. You know in the Beebe family (and the Goda as well, for that matter) that business always came first... you take care of the living, and let the dead bury the dead.

I got a six of an ale that I've never had. I think I'll drink a few.
