I was at my grandmothers rossary today and the casket was open. She wasn't the same, her hands were flat. I felt like I was going to fall down. I went to get some water and never looked at her again. It was hot and I was uncomfortable, however I stayed next to my mom through out the service. I really just freaked out by the whole thing. I have to be a pahl barrier tomorrow and we will see how it goes.

I helped carry my Grandmother's casket too. It was the heavyest thing ever, even with 5 other guys with me. I was just eaten up with grief and fear of dropping it.

I didn't though, and in retrospect I'm proud and happy to have been a part of it. You'll do fine.
