The Gown Had to be Perfect

My cousin passed peacefully in hospice yesterday. She chose how she wanted to pass. Now she is at peace. Her sister (she is blind) called and asked if I would pick out a gown for her to wear. Of course I said yes. Was shopping online most of the night and morning. Found the one today. Had it shipped overnight. The funeral will be this week. Pretty detail in this gown. I am sure she would approve. Since I can't be there, I feel like I was included by finding her last gown to wear.

@CarolDM All right, then it's not possible. My sister-in-law had a photo take of Jay's mother, something I've never heard of before. Mia wanted a picture of their mother, I guess.
