Aunt Julie brought a dress she was supposed to wear in her daughter’s wedding and never used it because they did not get married. She told us about the dress and said we could use it. She had spent several hundred dollars on the dress, and it wouldn’t fit her anymore.
Aunt Julie was already on her way to see Mom. She would be here on Monday and Mom passes away Sunday. I talked with her on the phone, and she told me she had the dress with her. She said the Lord gave her a dream that she would not see Mom alive before she got there.
Jamie did not particularly like the dress. We went through Mom’s dresses and could not find one that was suitable. Jamie liked a bright red dress, but to me it was too flashy as though Mom were going to a party. We decided to look at the dresses they had at the funeral home. On the way to the funeral home, I thought of the dress she wore in Joann’s wedding. We went back to the house and could not find it.
Jamie and I both picked out a dress we liked at the funeral home. The one she picked out looked like a Sunday dress, the one I picked out was a simple ivory dress with long sleeves. Dad made the final decision. He chose the one Aunt Julie brought down. Nana liked it as well. It sort of had a pale blue tint. It had a jacket with large silver studded buttons with fancy sequins on it. We decided to bury her with the last cross necklace she wore. It was silver and had opaque square stones in it.
U Is there a particular outfit your loved one wants to be buried in, and is it described in the will? U
