you guys are so super! When my grandma died, it was just us family who had to do it all. We remarked how "back when" people brought food, etc to help the family. We went to my DH's grandpa's funeral a few years ago in KS and although he had lived in the town for nearly forever, they were not brought food or anything either. I had to go help cook and go shop for food (with babies in tow). It was odd after hearing how many people "give" to the family. I simply thought it was something of a *lost art*. I know we would have loved anything that meant we didn't have to cook and shop
