I don't have many photos and asked my husband to take this one when we were off to an informal memorial service for my dear 87 y old aunt, at her son's. Her official funeral was very small, immediate family only, as her widowed husband is an extreme introvert and could not cope. It was also at the other end of our country, bottom of the South Island, when most of the wider family lives in Auckland. So the memorial was in Auckland where her son and family live. Most of the other women did not wear black I found, they wore modest summer clothing but some brighter colours. I've never been to a memorial service in a home before! It was quite a pleasant occasion in the end. I wanted to dress in black but not too black. I do look very sombre, whereas I usually smile for photos. Wonder if I achieved the respectful but not too sad look I was going for ?
