Here's what I wrote on facebook, after the visitation last night, after the funeral and burial and the luncheon at St. James Catholic Church this morning and afternoon.
"My gratitude to my ex, Jeff McDermott. He drove in from Rome, GA, for the funeral today for our niece, Jean Marie Morgan, to show his love and support for me, my stepsister Susan Morgan, our nephew Stephen Morgan, and for her dear Robert Williams. Jeff embodied the Reverend Joseph Smith's message at the funeral mass. To paraphrase, we are all flawed creatures and sometimes we need to ask each other for help and we need to know that asking for help is part of being human... and to give that help when asked is also part of her nature. My thanks for continued prayers during this time, not just for me, but for all who knew Jean Marie."
My ex had driven up on Friday night, arriving just before midnight.
In the morning, we met for breakfast before heading to the church.
He never left my side.
God is still looking in on me, too.
That is how I know I am both blessed and loved.
Now, I am taking a nap.
If only I had someone to sing "Soft Kitty" to me, that would be perfect.

Teri Lowery I don't know how long you were married to Jeff, but after a bitter divorce, my ex-husband of 13.5 years and made amends and keep in touch every few months, years or so because there was a reason for being married, even if it didn't work out. There's a history between you and Jeff. Good to hear he was there for you!
