Default Dead Spread

I never thought I'd be posting about one of these since I'm rarely involved
in a funeral. But here we were, the mother of my best friend had passed
away at age 90. There was to be a memorial service, followed by a
reception at my friend's home. I played the organ for the memorial
service.

Only the desserts were homemade, but everything was very good. Given our
weather (yesterday it was 90 degrees} there were no hot dishes. There were
croissant sandwiches of tender roast beef, ham, and chicken salad. There
were also roll-ups of turkey and a very tasty vegetable mix. There was a
very good potato salad, an excellent cheese tray and a tray of crudites,
along with a large assortment of crackers and small breads. There were
numerous condiments, pickles, olives, etc. The homemade desserts included
a fresh peach and cranberry pie, a key lime pie, a chocolate cheesecake,
and a tres leche cake. Beverages included fresh strawberry lemonade,
sweetened and unsweetened iced tea, hot and iced coffee, as well as a large
assortment of soft drinks.

I didn't count heads, but I'm guessing there were around 40-45 people.
There was ample food for everyone and everyone seemed to enjoy it.
