A good day....

So today was a good day.  The funeral started at 11 a.m., but the viewing and family gathering started at 9:30.  It was amazing to see all of the many people who revered and loved John.  The service was very touching and there was not a dry eye in the house when his daughter and two sons did a musical number and asked the congregation to join in during the last verse of How Great Thou Art.  There were stories that made us laugh, some that made us cry, and others that made us realize again just how lucky we were to have been part of this great mans life.  The service at the burial grounds was also very special as a two-man military salute with a trumpet and a flag. After the funeral events we all went to Red Robin where there was lots of laughter and love between the families.  It was an all-around great day of celebration for John's life and the happiness he brought everyone else's life.   

On a side note, my family that was in the accident are doing okay. As I understand my Aunt Sarah was still dizzy from the accident and the doctors are having her family keep a special eye out for her and my cousin Chandler had to go back to the hospital today for  an MRI on his foot that he might have broken (they couldn't tell because they found a cyst in his foot that they also needed to check out).  My Uncle Chris flew down for the wedding today. He witnessed the accident happen and he again said how lucky everyone was to be alive.  

Thank you again for all of your prayers!  From the comment posts, text messages, calls and emails, I am so glad to have all of you in my life during these past two hard weeks.  Thanks again!
