I think it's a very nice custom and ...Hi Walt,<br /><br />I think it's a very nice custom and it shows that people care and are thinking about the person/family who has lost their loved one... <br />From what I've seen at the movies (at at my mom's memorial service) people bring food and it also serves to "break the sadness." Like people who are too sad to eat are suddenly presented with all kinds of food and that it also starts the social interaction when the air is thick with sadness and no one really knows what to say, except to give their sincerest sympathies and condolences... Food serves to bring people together in conversation... and it helps to get your mind of the sadness you are in, even if it's just for a short while...<br />It's always appreciated... I really do think there are real reasons for customs - why they started... and that we do what we feel in our heart!<br />Once again, I send my condolences to you for the loss of your friend and neighbour, to his companion, and his family and friends. I know it's shocking and difficult to lose someone.<br />Though you won't be at the funeral/services, you will be there in spirit..<br />Take care,<br />Leesaislandgirl4ever2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11113491173234673894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-22188981552786604832009-10-25T07:54:57.217+01:002009-10-25T07:54:57.217+01:00loulou, thanks. :)

Still, a couple of casseroles would have been nice when my son was born... We did actually receive a lasagna from an anglo friend that Stéph ate during our long stay in the clinic and that was very much appreciated!!Vivihttp://dispatchesfromfrance.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-34354892435446740422009-10-25T06:59:33.559+01:002009-10-25T06:59:33.559+01:00I am so sad to hear that you've lost a friend....I am so sad to hear that you've lost a friend.

In most cases people are too upset to eat when this happens to them. Yet, I think it was very nice of you to do so, and I'm sure S. will appreciate it. A quiche is execellent comfort food, isn't it?ladybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690656561242165157noreply@blogger.com
