Military Honors

When Mom passed away in November, it was a cold day with a biting wind. Sitting in the cemetery, Dad said something about planning on dying in the Spring or Summer when it was warmer. After he died, Mardean remarked, "I guess he thought April was warm enough." And it was a warmer day. We can't wait for the flowers to bloom around the fountain!

Larkin Mortuary was so thoughtful. In the stages of planning the funeral, they asked a little about Dad. We mentioned that he was an avid golfer and was really proud that he scored not just one hole-in-one, but two in his lifetime.  Imagine our surprise when we saw the logo on the hearse! What a sweet way to personalize this and help us celebrate our dad’s life.

The flag draped coffin was a proud sight to behold.   Dad received full military honors from the Disabled American Veterans. How wonderful that they were able to do that. They shot off a military salute in honor of his valiant and dedicated service in WW II. We are all so proud that he fought
to defend our country and God-given rights!

Rest in Peace, Dad!

We are all enlisted til the conflict is or'. . .
