I woke up this morning around 6 took a shower washed and blew dry my hair. Threw on some jeans and sneakers ( and a blouse let I shock the populace) and ran to the supermarket and picked up some flavored creamers and milk and ran them over to the church

We got the church about 9:45 and found a full church much your surprise... Since it was a Fidaymorninf we expected a small turnout but so many took time off to be there

It was a lovely service.... Both of our pastors were there and cop resided, much to my surprise as we usually only have one of them there I was very touched that they both were there.

The hymns were O God Our Help inAges Past, Rock of Ages, Cleft For Me, Abide With Me and Amazing Grace. And during communion one of my nieces played piano while the other sang Let It Be

So as soon as they caught up to us We headed over to the internment site they had a nice awning set up and some chairs. Two young soldiers were there and one played taps and then they did a little flag ceremony and the one of the soldiers, on blended knee, presented Mom with the flag

The Pastors did a final service and then Mom carried Dad to his final resting place. it is a lovely marble wall and they put a beautiful carved cover over it.
