Going Home

So tomorrow we will celebrate the life of Momma Flora. She asked for 2 things. She wanted to be cremated and she wanted her ashes spread in the ocean, along with her beloved dog Ruth's ashes. She also wanted a service at her church for her more traditional friends. So tomorrow, we will celebrate her life at the Ark International Church in Nags Head at 1pm. Her good friend Will Fields will sing I'll Fly Away as she requested. I will be receiving people at my home after the service.

At a date yet to be determined, we will spread her and Ruth's ashes in the ocean. Then she wanted an "good old fashioned Irish Wake" where people drank to her life, told stories, played music, danced and enjoyed remembering her. She wanted people to be happy, because she didn't fear death. She knew she was going home.
