[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could understand it if he was a widow (aka his first wife died while they were married). [/quote]

My grandfather’s wife died at 32 from ovarian cancer and there were 3 kids.  He remarried, the grandmother I know, had one more child and a long marriage.  When he died (2nd wife alive) he was buried next to the first wife.  I think he bought the plot next to her, or there were a few family plots.  10-years later his second wife died and she was buried on the other side of him.

Also- I was 14 at the time my grandfather died but I don’t remember any animosity about that choice.  My dad made a joke about the lucky bastard getting two women to cut the grief.  It was an Irish Catholic funeral.  My mom and her 3 brothers has a very close relationship with their step-mom (never referred to her as a step).  I didn’t even know about my maternal grandmother until around that time.  The kids were so young when she died, but my mom shared memory if being snuck up the freight elevator to see her in the hospital because kids were not allowed back in the 1940s.  But to take on 3 kids, ultimately having 3 boys and 1 daughter, was pretty selfless.  And the story goes my mom (6 at the time) put up a fight, wrote nasty letters when her dad was on their honeymoon which she and my grandma laughed about later.  Pretty understandable for a kid that lost her mother.[/quote]
