Folding Tables and Chairs Save the Day
I didn’t realize what a popular man my uncle Tommy was until he passed away. When I volunteered to help my cousin with his funeral arrangements, neither of us recognized that we were going to need a lot more food, folding tables and chairs than what we had originally planned. Thankfully, the church’s Ladies Society handled the extra food, but we had to scramble to find more folding tables and chairs for the more than 200 guests who were expected to show up at my cousin’s house after the service. Luckily, the funeral director came to our rescue and put us in touch with people who were able to deliver and set up a truckload of folding tables and chairs. The tables were large and sturdy and the chairs were tasteful and comfortable. No one who came to pay his or her respects and share our meal was aware that we had struggled to get the luncheon together at the last minute. Those folding tables and chairs saved the day, and I know my uncle would have been pleased to know so many people showed up to honor his memory.
