"I would like to quote a poem by David Harkin which I hope will bring you comfort", said Rev. Brown.

A Buford Falls Funeral Snapshot_be7f3ab9_df4dd12f_zpsf8085a14
"You can shed tears that he is gone
Or you can smile because he has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on", he quoted.

lol1   I turn my off also.  My Greenman Dad aged because I forgot to turn it off again.  I wanted him to have another bby before it was his time to go.  Wanted him to see his Grandchildren.  I had to turn it on for the bby and forgot. lol1  He's quite handsome with age if I do say so. giggle

I have come to realize, that the Plants peeps, their offspring has no relationship with a human. One of my plant bby's was trying to get cozy with him one time. Well, a few times. giggle  She had sparks and hearts flying around. giggle  I moved her out for a life of her own. lol1

Dearest Mary, this post was so very comforting for me. Funerals are for the living and being able to say goodbye is so very, very important. When you are grieving it is beyond words to be able to express the comfort in being surrounded by friends and family.

You did an incredible work here with your words and pictures. I am moved, so very moved, by your sensitivity and your inspiring thoughts.

Thank you so very much for sharing.

Edit: I hate to spoil the moment but I am also a practical person sometimes...
I loved the dresses that Emily and MaryLou are wearing. Would you be able to share the link or the files if the sites are no longer available?

mickeywave  Hi Daisy,

Oh, so sad to see a Sim pass on. I knew that we'd be seeing a funeral pretty soon with the couples that you started the story with and Sam was one of them. Still it's so sad. sad  However, I absolutely love the way that you did the funeral. I agree with Nonni that funerals are for the living and you did an excellent job of doing that. I imagine before too long, we'll be seeing some more Sims pass on.

I don't like to see my Sims pass on, either so I liberally use the Elixer of Life and play with aging off (a lot).

Wonderful pictures. You did a great job on this story. bravo 

tnx4sharing

I was thinking scratch  the same thing, hun.  I think I'll be crying myself for days.  What will we do without Rhys? tongueout  Buford Falls is all about about Rhys and his romances, bby's, hopping the fence - well, he's settled down now, but I was looking at him just the other day while reading your story.  wowspring  I don't even like thinking about it.

But, he has a lot of other genes out there to carry on from where he leaves off, but until that time comes, I'm gonna keep enjoying him!
