My Grandmother had a Mass said for my Grandfather every year on or around his anniversary for over thirty years. No-one would every forget that it was 29th December.
Now that she too has died it falls to the rest of us to get our act together. Fortuntely, this is not at all difficult in my Parish, so I filled in the form, requesting the dates and yesterday remembered to check the list in the Church for the whole of 2009. And what do you know? There were the Masses. Grandma RIP, moved in fact to the nearest Sunday which is great because I will be able to go ( and a TLM to boot ) and Grandpa RIP on 29th Dec. My Mum was very pleased when I told her that I had requested them too.
