My great grandmother died when I was in my late teens, I don't remember her well but I'd heard alot about her. She was a great story teller and could be kind of eccentric. I'd always wished I'd known her better.
She wanted her funeral to be at a church that was a different denomination from the rest of the family and we'd never been to this particular church before. It was done by two pastors, a man and a woman.They both came out and each sat on a tall stool in front of the gathered family members.
The woman was tall and thin with long, dark hair and the man was shorter with a mustache.
Just then, one of my uncles leaned over towards my Mom, who was next to me, and said in a stage whisper, "They look just like Sonny and Cher."
My Mom tried so hard but she couldn't help laughing and soon everyone in the near vicinity was shaking with muffled laughter...it just sounded so funny. The more we tried not to laugh the more impossible it became. The funeral went well, even though I didn't hear much. Granny would have been happy.
