Dad's Funeral



Dad passed away on Oct. 4th at 3:45 pm. We held his funeral yesterday. It was very emotional and hard for me through Saturday but since then I've felt the most amazing peace. I just feel so good about where he is right now. Mom is such a rock. I know she'll have some rough nights but she is just amazing. I can't wait til I get to see him again!

It's getting close

The hospice nurse was here yesterday morning and told us we only have a day or two left with dad. I had a hard time keeping my emotions under control but today has been a lot easier. All of my brothers and sister are here and Brad, my husband is here today. We have been talking about the funeral arrangements and I think we have it all put together. Dad has always wanted Jon's wife Liatt to sing at his funeral. She has an amazing voice and his favorite singer is Patsy Cline. Several years ago at one of his high school reunions she sang "Crazy" by Patsy and she has agreed to sing that song at the funeral. It is going to be amazing.
