POST HUMUS

Scatter my ashes in my garden
so I can be near my loves.
Say a few honest words, sing a gentle song,
join hands in a cirle of flesh.
Please tell some stories about me
making you laugh. I love to make you laugh.
When I've had time to settle, and green
gathers into buds, remember I love blossoms
bursting in spring. As the season ripens
remember my persistent passion.
And if you come in my garden
on an August afternoon
pluck a bright red globe,
let juice run down your chin and the seeds
stick to your cheek. When I'm dead
I want folks to smile and say..."That Patti,
she sure is some tomato!"

Not sure if you all know, that his Mom's name is also Twila ( Boundy) in case you want to send flowers. JB and his sister's shop are handling the florals...the shop is Inbloom in Corvallis....from the storys JB has shared over time, she was a remarkable woman. One of her last acts on earth was the say a prayer for her family...JB and his sister Twila were fortunate to have been able to record it and JB will be reading it at the services. Jb, may her hand rest on your shoulder and give you the strength you need to do that. Again, our thoughts are with you both during the difficult time and may the friendship we all have for you help ease your burden and lighten your grief. .

Thank you all so very much from the bottom of my heart. I've been reading all week but couldn't post thru the sorrow til now.

One of the things sitting and holding my Mother's hand and kissing her when she passed made me want to do is be a better and nicer person - I doubt I'm the only one who has had that experience.

Losing a Mother is a real b!tch, ain't it? We put her in the ground next to dad yesterday and it really hurts and feels like such an empty space. We had the most lovely wonderful funeral yesterday - my wife who is an absolutely phenomenal singer (she won singing contests in the Philippines before I met her) sang "How Great Thou Art" and "Let Me Call You Sweetheart", Mom and Dad's song so appropriate because of their recent reunion and I read her final prayer aloud without crying (we luckily had the wherewithal to record our last few days of talking together and I transcribed the prayer). She gathered us to her bedside (the 3 children) and asked her Heavenly Father for a blessing on our lives, and was a good LDS woman of exceptional faith who went home with a very clean slate. And dammm you should have seen the flowers we did - our proudest moment for that final tribute - we filled the place and I have never seen more flowers at a funeral. We set the bar pretty high when my Dad left us 6 years ago and we took this one fully over the top. I will post some pictures later when I upload them to my website. Some close friends from here sent flowers, I thank you so deeply, and we took very good care of your orders! (psst - can you spell overstuffed?)

It just made me want to be a better person, and thank you for that Mom.

For my good friends here - I thank you for your wonderful sentiments.
