My Mother and Father ( a 33rd degree Masonic Mason) was such a generous and kind man. He also was a Shriner at Shriners hospital for burned and crippled children. He also was a builder of homes. I would spend many hours from age 3 and up in the garage and he was so patient with me. He told me he wanted me to NEVER depend on a man for ANYTHING. And I still to this day DONT. I helped build all the trusses in my parents driveway for FALMOUTH HOSPITAL DRS Building called Bramblebush.He also got me a 22 rifle when I was 5 and would take me clay pigeon shooting every weekend. And on our trips to Maine he would do a bird whistle and ask what kind of bird was THAT I would try and guess bit he would laugh and say nope that was a red bellied moose horn swallow they are rarw you know?? And he would laugh until tears rolled down his face. And he would slap his knee and reply that was a knee slapper. Meaning he was fibbing.
My Mother would always be cleaning and cooking the most delicious meals. She taught me how to sew and knit and do cross stitching. My favorite part was when she would bake a cake and let me lick the batter off the beaters. LOL I could go on and on about my parents. But I don’t know why I never told any of these stories at their funerals. Probably just to wrapped in my grief to have remembered the wonderful times with each of them. I think of these times now and I smile as I am comforted by these wonderful memories locked FOREVER IN MY HEART
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

Learn: NEVER to take anything personal. NOTHING anyOne says or does is because of you, its because of them, a mere reflection of thier own personal journey.
It’s all about perceptions, respect for the good, the bad & the ugly-truth be told hear.
When you make it thru the toughest of times, it most definitely makes your own character stronger!
Please don’t judge the judger

I think remembering only the nice and good moments of a loved one is not being true or “honest” with their memory. Allowing families to remember even the not so nice, off-color, or even rude memories could allow them to jump-start the grieving process while being true to the memory of their loved one. To play the devil’s advocate for a moment, some memories may be not be offensive to people, others may be. In this case, it maybe ok to let the family express the memory that may be offending to the people who did not know their loved one well. The memory benefit’s the decedent’s family, not the general public.

On the other hand I do agree with Doug. There is room for some tact when discussing a person’s life while being true and honest to their memory.
