I am a father of three, girl, boy, girl, all are now over 18. I have been married for 29 years as of 6-30-07, so yes, if you do the math I was married at 18, just after graduating high school. I am very aware of the pit falls of doing so, but we made it through the really tough times. I came to this site, because of my daughter, she also uses the site.

I am an author and have written three books, only one under this name, but it is not how I make my living. I am in business, working full time and I have a seasonal business in ponds, selling Koi, goldfish, water plants and supplies. I help people to plan and build ponds, as well as, maintenance if they need it.

I am not here for the ratings and could careless what you rate me. I will tell you things I know, I will tell you what you don't want to hear, but most of all, I will tell you things from my perspective. I have experienced a lot in my life, I have not lived with my head in the sand and I'm a realist, you want someone to blow smoke up your as*, don't read my writings, (I don't do fairy tales).

I am not so foolish as to think I am always right, I can only tell you what I know and give you something to think about. It is up to you to find out if I'm right or not.

Life is complicated, because people are complicated and one answer does not necessarily fit all, but that doesn't mean you should not consider what I say as a possibility.

Feel free to write me personally if you wish, there is only so much you can say in such a restrictive environment as this site is, it doesn't allow for proper conversation.

Thank you for coming to my column and giving me the chance to help.

How long would a family wait to have a funeral? What if the family JUST wants family at the funeral and NO close friends? What if the family wants the funeral in a different state, how would they do that? What are the 5 stages when you lose someone? Sorry ive never been to a funeral. (link)
Normally funerals are done with in 5 days of death, but there is no certain time frame. It is hard to restrict guests for a funeral, but it could be done. There is no problem with transporting bodies, there are rules though. It is called the 5 stages of grief, 1.Denial 2. Anger 3.Bargaining 4. Depression 5. Acceptance.

Hope I covered it.
