Grandpa's Funeral

We held a viewing Thursday evening and it was perfect. Grandpa looked so peaceful and so much better than I remember him the previous weekend. He looked so happy and had a little smile on his face. It was nice to see so many friends and family come through the line!
Friday morning grandma wanted to raise grandpa's flag in the yard and fly it in his behalf. Afterwards we headed to the church for the funeral and it was beautiful! Everyone who spoke did a wonderful job (Mike: family prayer and a talk, prayer: Holly, family history: Susan & Julie, talk: Arnie, prayer: Bruce, dedication of grave: Todd). The musical numbers were amazing, great job to Whitney and Jake on the piano.
The cemetary was awesome, the military gave a salute that was perfect. It was a nice, sunny day... just what grandpa wanted.
We'll miss you grandpa :)
