Or, the Councilor of "clean-up", or my "Knight in Shining Armour". Whatever way you look at it, Ted is my closer. He has been so awesome these past few weeks. We had another funeral on Saturday and this was an amazing experience and I couldn't have done it without him. He even made an emergency run to Wal-mart to the wedding section to get a white registry book that the family had forgotten. This funeral was for a sweet older woman named Ellenor, who was married to Sam. They had 9 children between them and as of last count they have 107 grandchildren. They have 300 direct descendants! It really was amazing. The funeral and the luncheon and burial were in Mesa, so we had to really work hard with the "Beverly" Ward over there. They were awesome and helped us serve lunch to well over 200 people that ate like 300. We were there from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm and Dad was incredible. The best line was from one of the kids talks (john, the baby) he had been over helping with his Mom and as he carried her to bed she looked up and said "so who are you?" John knowing he was the baby and always knew he was the favorite answered, "your favorite son" to which Ellenor said "Oh, hi Sammy Jr". !! He said he was crushed.
So all of you kids who think you're the favorite....be careful!!!

I AM THE FAVORITE....
Only for one day. Tomorrow the favorite goes back to the oldest child.
I'm not allowed to say it but Dad told me I was the favorite on father's day, wink wink.
I don't know you boys...I did have the first grandchild! That's gotta count for something! And I was mom's first girl who she waited and waited for!
Awesome helping Uncle. That is a cute story about the favorite child. Tracy, can you call somebody to be your official blogger??
