Answer

Hi - I hope this helps.
1.The least I could do is make sure you boys had a decent meal TO look forward to in the morning.  ( They are looking forward to the meal. Meal is the noun in this case. The sentence structure is a little different.
2.We are at a wake.
after one's funeral, the person's NEIGHBOURS came to pay their respects. how come you call the memorial ceremony " a/the wake"? - I have been taught the this comes from Latin and it is similar to word "awake" as in not sleeping. The people stay up with the family to comfort them. (Also I changed "Neighbourhood" to "Neighbours"  The neighbourhood is really the part of the city and the people there will pay "their respects".
