And Now For Something Completely Different...

Tomorrow, I am going to a funeral in Montreal. This will be the fourth funeral I have attended, and the third that I didn't know the deceased....it's for the mother of one of my co-workers, a man that I truly respect and care a great deal for.

No here's my dilemma. I've never been very good at knowing what to say....I can't say she was a wonderful person, since I've never met her (although I'm sure she was!). I can say "sorry" or "my condolences to you and your family," but everyone says that. Or I could say nothing at all, and risk looking like Rudey McRude-Pants. Beats me.

If anyone has advice, please let me know. I'm awful at these things.

Thanks.
