Thanks Honey! I'm actually okay - while it's sad that she's gone, I know she's now with her husband (which has been hard for her for 31 years, since he passed away on my mom's birthday - she felt so bad that every year she cried on my mom's birthday, because of the memories). I'm just frustrated that the family that lives back there had to "rush" the memorial service, so that my grandmother (who was closer with this great grandmother - her step-mother - than her own mother) wasn't able to go back to say her goodbyes. It's a long story, but since she was being cremated, there really wasn't any hurry for the memorial service, and when my great-aunt (my great-grandmother's husband's sister) passed away almost five years ago, my family out here waited until the two sisters from back there were able to fly out to be a part of the memorial service. It's just a little "craw" in the side, but we'll get over it in time.
