In a small (4x6) notebook I recorded who I talked to and the date, when paperwork was mailed, and when checks were received.

I started a notebook to keep track of who I had talked to, when I had talked to them, what details about the situation and when I received paperwork back from them or checks that were deposited.

The spreadsheet was an amazing way to keep track of how much money we received, who had dropped off or made food, and sent flowers and other gifts.

For the funeral there were a lot of decisions that needed to be made.
