174 of 210 : Edna

She was the corpse in the next room at my aunt’s funeral. Edna’s relatives didn’t wear lugubrious expressions or speak in hushed, reverent tones like ours did. They had a par-tay! I thought the laughter and joy was terrific. But getting their photos taken with the body? Not so much.

This is the laugh I needed. Love this post!
Left me curiously wondering if her family put those pictures in the family photo album.
