Duh...I'm just figuring out who this is- I knew the post count was high but didn't recognize KelleeM user name. I've been posting and had no idea who I was talking to... You are in my thoughts and prayers, Kellee.

You've been on my mind too. If Tinypics hadn't stolen my favourite group hugs emoji, I would be sending you oodles of them. XOX

We are all your sisters today. We are holding your hand virtually.
Remember, all you need to do is survive the day. Yes, I know, easier said than done.
Much love and good thoughts for you.

Thank you all. I’m dressed and put on a bit of makeup (no mascara, I’m not that brave). I’m as ready as I ever will be to face this.
I spoke with the funeral director earlier and asked if I could arrive a half hour before the masses of Martins who are scheduled to arrive a half hour before the doors open to the public.
I have a bag of items to put on the table with his cremains including cigarettes and a lighter (yes, he smoked), his black fedora with a purple feather, his New England Patriots money clip with some small bills in it, a can of Coke and his favorite glass, and a toy truck from the grocery store chain he worked for at the end of his career. On my way I’ll stop at Dunkin‘ Donuts for one butternut donut, his all time favorite. I hope I haven’t forgotten anything important. I’m wearing his wedding ring on my right hand, exactly where he wore it.
I’m blessed to have an awesome sister who will be there every moment, his younger brother and his wife whom we count among our best friends, his three sons and their wives, my two kids and my sweet little Ally to help me through this. I’ve been warned that they expect a lot of people. Just his family numbers over 100.
I appreciate your prayers and plan to keep reminding myself that we’re celebrating his life and that definitely included far more laughter than tears, although he couldn’t watch a movie if the dog died. 😢

Kellee, as a PP said, I just made the connection between you and your new username. I am so sorry for your loss. The items for the funeral home tell their own story and, hopefully, will add laughter to the tears. Thinking of you.

I love that you gathered his personal items, and something about that cute toy truck made me feel like crying. Soooo glad you have such a warm and close family !!!!!!!! I know that precious Ally is going to be such a comfort to you, too! Every time I think of all the cute piks / scrapbook pages you've posted of her, I just wanna (( hug )) her sooo tightly !!!!! Of course Ally's time with her Papi was NOT nearly enough, but I'm sure you are thankful for every minute they spent together!!!

The small things that Dick used & loved in his life. It will be a celebration of life and laughter is important. The small quirks and gestures, jokes that he told and million other things that made Dick the man that he was. Please, if you can, find comfort in the Bible - Isiah 57:1-4. These verses have given me much comfort over the years. Dick was a special man and that is important. Bless you.
