In life, she was feisty, a little irritable, but very energetic, with a bit of a scrunched-up expression on her face that was her trademark. A little too peaceful. Lying in the casket, she has a long, drawn-out face, completely drained of all life and energy.
Death does that to people.
That's one reason why I'm not a big fan of open casket funerals. I think that might actually be because I haven't been to many as of late. Today, though, Great-Grandma Oki's body was on display, embalmed and looking more like a wax sculpture than anything else. One hundred earthly years, and this is all that's left. An empty shell.
