Once again, thanks for all the thoughts and support.

The funeral went well. The priest did a magnificent job. The Sister's of St. Benedict were there in full support after providing consistent visitation and spiritual support to my parents for years, the Honor Guard and 21 Gun Salute were touching...the fact that they gave me the shell casings was unexpected and touching....what do you do with shell casings??????

In death, my father was honored in a way that his humility would not allow him to accept in life.

My mother is doing well too.

Life is good in Indiana (although we're expecting snow tomorrow!)
