The Funeral

The funeral was held on Thursday, the 17th. It was so amazing to see all the people that came. Bill had made many friends and acquaintances throughout his life and so many had come to show their love. The grandchildren sang and the kids shared memories. We were again reminded of the amazing person that he was, while so many shared things he had done. Stories that we had never heard before. The graveside was very cold, but also peaceful and spiritual. Sawyer stayed in the car with my parents, but the rest of us were there. Because of his service, they held a gun salute and the kids were given the shells. They folded the flag and presented it to Carol. It is so neat that we were able to remember him this way.
