01.23.10 - i attended a funeral this afternoon for k's mother. it was held at the green-wood cemetery in brooklyn, ny. green-wood cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in the country founded in 1838.
the location of the burial site was on a small hill surrounded by several trees. i immediately understood why k's mother wanted this to be her final resting place. i was struck by how absolutely beautiful the grounds were. there are sloping hills and ponds throughout. even though it was winter, the bare trees were stunning. i could only imagine how majestic the place must look in the spring.
k's mother was a phenomenal woman and meant a great deal to many people. i was so moved by the sheer number of people that came -- probably close to 150. such an amazing testament to how much she touch all of our lives. auntie w., may you be at peace now.
Tastfully done, well done as it must have difficult to think about it whilst remembering K's mum. Hats off.
