hello there..once again i want to thank all of you for the wonderful comments..thank you so very much..i'm not quite sure what to say here honestly.other than it was a beautiful funeral filled with alot of respect..i took a ton of pics with my phone and sometimes took a ton with the camera..as soon as i can get my phone pics on my computer, i do intend on putting an album together for anyone who would like to see..it was very cool..since he was so proud of the irish in his blood, there was a lady who played 'amazing grace' on the bagpipes..he was also a member of the masonic lodge, so the masons came and did their thing. he was also in the U.S. army reserve so the burial was for the most part handled by them..all in all it was very emotional and very beautiful all the way around..oh, and i had the priviledge of being a pallbearer..that made me very happy. well, that's all for now..more later
