Final Details...

I guess final is the word...final, in more ways than one. I believe I have all the details in place for Poppy's memorial service. I am waiting to hear on the luncheon info from the LLL Society, have a call into the engraving company to have Poppy's name added to the marker in the memorial garden and meet with our pastor on Friday to make the final, final arrangements.
