    I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. I agree with squinks. You could always go now to be with the family, even if you have to leave and miss the service. It's the family that your grandmother left behind that will need comforting. A JW service is, as you know, a big sales pitch, not something that comforts. The focus won't be on your grandmother. Skip it if you have to.

    And if the budget is tight right now, wait. Your grandfather will have all kinds of relatives and friends visiting him right now. But in a month or so, most of them will stop visiting, yet he'll still feel his loss. Just don't postpone it too long. I've heard of too many cases where one spouse dies and the other gives up.

    BTW, it was great to meet you here in Texas, hope you had a great time!

    Thank you all for your support and condolences, its not the money issue, nor the JW issue that is keeping me away from her service, its simply the time issue. If they had went about this in a traditional manner and had a service within 3-5 days I could make it, but as it stands the service will be on saturday afternoon. I could take off work all the way up until friday night (with pay) and wouldnt have to be back until 10 pm saturday, but since the service is on saturday, there wouldnt be enough time to drive home. I wish I could go, but im not experiencing any guilt, its just simply out of my hands.
