My Dad would've been so proud with the wonderful turnout for his visitation and funeral. From the solemn ceremony by the 4th Degree Knights, to the glorious music, personal homily and then "Memories of Grandpa" written and presented by our nephew, Jason at the funeral. And this was all followed by a most delicious luncheon - thee best cooks hail from my little hometown of Sublette - what a bountiful feast!
Dad was often referred to as a humble, gentle man and I so appreciated all the wonderful kind words that his family and friends used to describe him as they shared happy memories of their friendship with him thru the years.
So good to have Michael and Philip with us, along with Anne and family. Ryan called Saturday morning from Singapore (he's in port for a few days) - sending his thoughts and love wishing he were with us.
Bob and Linda's home has become our headquarters to eat, sleep, laugh, reminisce, and deal with all the details. Along with Ron and Vicki, the six of us are enjoying some quality time together! We have several things to finish up and our plans are to return to FL on Thursday. Catrina has arrived in Fort Myers Beach (hired a boat captain and friend to make the delivery).
Yesterday we had a nice visit and lunch with Mark's parents. His family sure showed their support and love these past few days.....what a grand bunch.
Thank you all again for being "there" for us whether physically or keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. I am so grateful to have each and every one of you in my life. God bless...
