I have never been to a funeral here in Sweden before and Magnus had made such a nice beautiful memorable funeral for his late wife yesterday. I heard lots of people commented after such a pleasant memories combined with mixed touching feeling will somehow remain with them forever.
I was very moved and touch by the whole ceremony.
Annelie left behind her husband, Magnus and 2 teenage boys, Jacob and David.
Since it was such a nice sunny weather, the ceremony was held outside the church. Magnus have made arrangement for a singer and a pianist to sang AnneLie's favorite song. In between the speech and preaching from the priest the song were played. It was a real well picked songs for the whole ceremony.
Combination with the wonderful scenery over looking the peaceful calm water, the soft breeze passing by, greenery of the trees during the summer and the soft whistling from the birds surrounding the atmosphere really bring such a perfect combination to the ceremony.
Annelie have several other requests before she left and one of them is that no one bring flowers to her funeral as she would like the money to be donated to the children cancer fund instead. So everyone did as she have requested and bought along a small flower in hand as a last gesture of saying goodbye which were placed on top of the her coffin before we left. We were also requested to be dressed in light colors clothing which normally would be black. So most ladies came with white or lightly colored dress while men came with light beige pants and a white shirt.
After the ceremony ended, we met at Magnus house for a glass of champagne, ate lunch and drank rose wine. All this were also another request by Annelie. She wanted everyone to be happy and not mourning over it. She is well known as a very strong women.
Normally the tradition will be just coffee and some light snack but Annalie want everyone to be served with good proper food. We gave a cheers for AnneLie after Magnus have given a short speech with a glass of champagne.
We and few others left quiet late that night. I joined the other 2 ladies to help cleaned up the place after most of them have left.
May you rest in peace Annelie and you will always be remembered by all your love ones.
