My wife Gloria passed Tuesday morning. She has had health issues for a long time, and was at home with hospice care.
Wednesday, Our adult children and I met with the mortuary to make funeral arrangements.
On the way home the mortuary called reminding me that they need payment 48 hours before the funeral.
I blurted out, "what do they think we're going to do, leave Gloria there and ghost them". The kids started laughing uncontrollably!
Then I realized the pun. It was nice to hear the kids laugh at such a hard time in their lives.

Sorry to hear of your Gloria's passing, it's never easy, glad the kids were able to get a little laugh at a such a tough time.... I would hate to have the job of Mortuary bill collector...

Sorry for your family's loss.
I'm sure your wife heard the laughter of her loved ones and smiled to herself. I hope it eased the pain if only for a few moments and that family memories continue provide a lifetime full of such moments.
