I packed up Sparky and drove to my brother, Don's. I got him settled at Don's house and went to my friend, Carol's funeral. It was a lovely service Celebrating Carol's life. Carol was the organizer of Philadelphia German American Parade for many years. Philadelphia has a sister city in Germany who came to the parades. Three gentlemen from Germany came and spoke at Carol's service. I was deeply touched by this. The men ended their speech by facing Carol and saying "Auf Wieder Shein" (not sure of spelling) but means "Until we meet again"
I said a few words of our childhood together. I had to cut it short as I was too choked up to go on. I met Carol when I was 4 years old when my family moved to Holmes. We did a lot of childhood things together; played with dolls, doll houses, paper dolls, checkers, rode bikes and roller skated. We went all through school together. Carol was one of my bride's maids in my wedding. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Two of our friends, twins, were there, Rosie and Dottie. Rosie didn't stay for the service but Dottie did and I took her home. First I picked up Sparky and then dropped off a plate from Christmas dinner to my other brother and we went to McDonald's for lunch. We had to go to a drive in because I didn't want to leave Sparky in the car.
