My father was 91 when he passed. During those last years he was always cold due to circulation problems. My daughter made him a fleece blanket from "John Deere" fabric since he was a farmer all his life. This wonderful blanket kept him warm at home, when he came to live with me, in the nursing home, and during the many trips to the hospital. When his time of passing came we did not want the "body bag or sheet" to cover him during his final trip from the hospital. We chose the blanket that had kept him warm for such a long time, and that he had proudly told everyone his granddaughter made for him as his "passage quilt". The funeral home understood our wishes and cooperated fully. The blanket was ultimately returned to my daughter as a treasured keepsake.
