Grief fails to unfold as planned.
We were notified yesterday her body was relocated to a different funeral home. The original riverside one near Pearson Bridge where she rode out Helene is 1.5 miles north of where U.S. Route 23 hooks up with I-26 — the Route 23 from Jacksonville, Florida to Mackinaw City, Michigan — from her deceased son’s locale to “survived by” only sibling sister, and through her husband of 60 years ancestral Floyd County, Kentucky, to be buried by his side in Mills River.
For the recovery interim she is relocated 25 miles south, a short distance from the entrance road to her cousin of ancestral Finland — cousin daughters of favorite sisters, siblings of seven to a widow born in Haapavesi, Finland, whose husband born in Alajärvi died on Silver Street in Ironwood, Michigan, an employee of the city water department for 15 years overcome by a gas heater in a manhole.
