Friday, Feb 25th, we had my dad's funeral. It was beautiful...every bit of it. The church was full of friends and family, near and far!!! The Marine Corp was there to honor my dad as well...it was the most touching thing I've ever witnessed...the folding of the flag, the gun salute, Taps playing. The only bad thing that day, was due to so much rain, his grave site sunk in. So, with that said, we could not bury him...we will do that on Monday. BUT, they were able to do the Military salute right outside of the church...and the most amazing part was that it stopped raining while we were outside for this, AND the sun came out too...as soon as it was over, and we got into our cars, it POURED...wow, that was the work of my dad for sure!!!!
Afterwards, we all headed to celebrate his life, at Talleyville...awesome time...then back to "10 East Tavern" with friends and family, celebrating the way my dad would want us to!!! All I can say is THANK YOU to everyone who came and showed their love and support...we couldn't have done this w/o YOU!!!!
