the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Bring the box of tissues! For real.

Definitely. (For many church funerals I've attended, they also put boxes of kleenex in the pews. But just in case, bring them!)

I have grown older, but not up.

Box of tissues

Cotton bandana? Absorbent yet durable.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Echoing everyone saying bring tissues (or whatever) and don’t avoid sobbing!

David, love and support to you, Emmett, Matilda, and all who gather to mourn Jacqueline.

David, I'm holding you and Matilda and Emmett in my heart today. I love you.

Shir and Nilly, you are still — always — in my thoughts.

Thanks for saying that perfectly, Steph.

David, may you do, be, and get exactly what you need to get through this today. We're surrounding all of you in love and support... blinvisibly and otherwise.

Our wings are not tired.

I go for the cloth hankies myself. Both my parents always carried handkerchiefs so I apparently inherited the habit.

Thank you for the link so that we can be with you virtually.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

Funny...in my head, I've thought of Hec as the handkerchief type.(maybe with a monogram) I love them for sad times and allergies; they don't get wet ever.(Maybe not the greatest if you're sick--I mean, besides sick at heart, which you would be forgiven for...I meant the other kind. Not totally sure how well they clean up, she said tangentially. Atropa, healing to your dad. Shir and Nilly, healing to your country, and indeed the region. Thank you for these years of giving me images of it that are not bound up with conflict.

What JenP said.

I am so grateful to be able to see the service right now. I am holding all of you in my heart.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I'm here too. Thank you for the love stream. (I'm not changing the autocorrect).

This is a very weird watch and post. And a beautiful funeral. I'm holding all of you in my heart.
