So sorry. I’m sure she would be really pleased to know that her stories had such impact and she will live on in the retelling of them.

Just wanted to thank you all for your kind words.
Funeral was on Saturday, really glad we had nice weather. The cemetery was very proactive with Covid protocols, they limited the number in the chapel to 20, although the capacity was 200. Minister spoke in both Estonian and English. All things considered, it was a very nice service for my mom. She directed the Esto choir for 49 years, amazing how many close friends she made over the years. -

Forty nine years! That is amazing! I can´t imagine the loss that community, and your family, is feeling. She sounds wonderful, Rainman. Sorry to hear about your loss of her.

Forty-nine years is a long time to herd cats.
Well done, good and faithful servant.

Sounds like he loved your mom, too, as well he should, with her directing the choir for nearly half a century.
Even the weather cooperated. I'd say your mom has some very good connections. I think I would have liked her very much, too.
