We Are Back Home

We arrived back home Tuesday evening from Wichita. We decided to go down Monday afternoon since the forecast wasn't great. It took Chris 45 minutes to get the ice off the van Tuesday morning! There were no mishaps however, so for that, we are thankful.

The funeral was very nice and so personal. The minister had a long time relationship with Grandpa, so it was nice to hear the funny anecdotes. The graveside service was very cold, but touching. Three Army soldiers were present. "Taps" was played and the flag folded and presented to Chris' grandmother. The church provided us with a generous lunch afterward. All in all, it was a wonderful tribute to a wonderful man who loved his family, God and country.

Thank you to all of you who sent well-wishes with cards, phone calls, flowers/plants and/or prayers. It has certainly meant alot to our family.
