The end!

It was a difficult few days laying my dad to rest.  But at the end it was amazing. Lots of talks about my fathers generosity.  His kindness.  Four of his high school friends came into town.  Old employees drove up from twin.  Lee said he had never seen so many flowers at a funeral.  My cousins came from Washington and Phoenix.  My moms siblings were all here except the two in Europe.  Lee was assigned to speak about the plan of salvation which he did by talking all about my dad's kindness to him.   There was laughter when my sisters buried my dad with his gun.  He was probably laughing as well.  The only thing any of us would have changed was the feeling the bishop spoke too long at the end.  But we were still out of the church in an hour.

My best friend flew in from Seattle and was so good to us.  She watched Andrew through the viewing and the service because she loves us but also she loved my dad.  

I told she could cross attend an LDS funeral off the bucket list.  :).    She was amazed at the luncheon after the service.  She could not understand why people would take a Thursday and cook and prepare a lunch for us.  I told it just came full circle I know my mom has spend hours helping with luncheons.

We were blessed with the companionship and love of so many people .
