my mother passed away suddenly last saturday...when i saw her, she really looked as if she was sleeping...which made me feel ok since my siblings would have that memory as well...she was not an organ donor, but we decided to donate a small portion of her skin for skin graphing...they promised to respect her body and not violate either what we gave permission for, or her remains...my mother was a pretty woman, but when i went to the funeral home to preview her before then viewing, what was there, was not my mom...they took everything including her bones...that face is burned in my memory for ever...it looked like an ugly mask...i am so thankful to God that i decided to go view her alone that day...i would not be able to live with myself if my siblings had seen that...now, i have to live with the fact that i denied them the right to see their mother before burring her...i had to order the casket be closed...she was loved by so many people...they didn't get to see her one last time...
