you did the right thing.God rest her soul. I made my Dad a quilt for christmas and gave it to him early before Thanksgiving because he was always cold. He loved the quilt, I bought it to the funeral parlor to put in his casket and because he was a WW2 veteran, the funeral director said he could not have it showing in the casket because of the american flag, so he opened the casket and covered his legs with the quilt. The day of the funeral they took the flag off, I pulled up the quilt to his chest-I was so pleased he will be warm now.
Thanks for listening - I am beginning to cry, gotta go.
