Slept in until 9:30 so grabbed a Starbuck's latte on the way to cousin Grace Eadie's funeral. It was at an Anglican Church at UBC.
Glad I arrived 15 minutes early because the parking lot was just about full. The church was packed and they kept putting out more chairs. Saw several people I knew from the VSB - principals, associates and a superintendent.
Waited until some of the crowd thinned and introduced myself to my family. Several did remember meeting me in the past here and in Edmonton. Had a long talk with Grace's brother David & one of her sisters. They all recognized my dad as being the parents' best man. Nice to meet people who actually knew him.
So tired afterwards that I forgot my plan for the day and just stopped at Safeway for some groceries.
