The funeral Mass was held on Saturday, November 28 at St. Patrick Church in Rodeo, the church that Ma and Pa attended. Most people went directly to the church. There were only about 20 people at the funeral home. We were able to say goodbye to Ma in relative privacy. It was a short procession from the funeral home to the church.
Cousin Fr. Rene co-officiated the Mass with Fr. Larry, the parish priest. Becky, a family friend, delivered the eulogy. Pa said thanks afterwards.
I saw Dr. Hsu, Ma's primary care physician, at the church. Her radiation oncologist, Dr. Shank, was also there.
Not everyone joined us at the reception afterwards. It was held at China Delights in El Sobrante. There were about 130 guests.
The day wasn't as emotionally draining as I had feared. Pa and Isa held up well.
