Here's a question for you all: someone who I knew slightly more than an acquaintance died a couple weeks ago. I used to be quite close with his daughter, but we have drifted apart due to living in different locations and having kids on different schedules. There is a memorial service on Monday at 10 am. If I went, it would be just me. DH feels he didn't know the guy (and he didn't know his daughter really either). Would you go to the service? I think there will be a lot of people at the service and I hate funerals. Like, I've been to one (my grandmother's). I already have some things planned for that day, although things can be rearranged. Can I just write them a card and "get away" with that? Good grief: my friends' parents are not supposed to be dying!!
