ON LIFE DEATH AND DYING

Wiederspahn funeral home cheyenne wyoming.
When I was 5 years young I remember my mother and grandmother takin' me to Wiederspahn's. I remember it was the first time I had ever seen someone the had passed on from this world. She was a girl the same age as I. She has died from an illness that I dont remember. I remember goin' up to her casket and lookin' at her. While my mother and grandmother had their backs turned I touched the little girl on the arm. I remember it to this day. I said good bye to her.
