Thanks for the advice everybody.

In the end I didn't have to say anything. I walked in an my friend broke out from the receiving line and gave me a big bear hug and said it was good to see me. I just about fell apart then and and he was the one buoying my spirits.

Anyways it was a lovely service with lots of funny and bawdy stories to tell about her. I was struck by how many strangers had the same feelings about her that I did.

Today's Life lesson: Don't let funerals be the only times you see the people you care about.
