This from the Delmarva paper, via Mr. Isaacs. He pointed out that having Mayor Barrie Tilghman give the eulogy would "please Marie, who followed the Mayor's career with great interest."

So that's that. I lit a candle, not for her soul, but representing our memories, and thought about things she said. And I cried. If anyone is interested, Mr. Isaacs sent me a long, detailed account of her funeral Wednesday, who was there, how their hair looked, etc.
