Mum's Funeral

14 November 2007 was Mum's funeral day.    It is now almost 13 years since my mum (http://renejenny-family.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-mother-1-june-1926-12-november-2007.html) passed away (12 November 2007).    I was not at her funeral but my daughter was.   Only now do I feel up to uploading some of the pictures that she has taken.
