He has finally been reunited with my Mom. At his funeral there were so many people that had shared their memories of him and some great stories. He was a good farmer and steward of the land. He had made many great friends over the years. He was a colorful individual and usually had a good story to tell and was full of limmericks. We all had to teach our kids to not repeat most of them! I got in trouble in kindergarten for singing one of his "songs" I got my mouth washed out with that nasty green liquid soap at school. Some of his advise quickly comes to mind: If it is worth having it is worth taking care of, Being a Christian has nothing to do with where you go on Sunday it is how you live your life, Excuses are like a$$holes everyone has one, I could go on but I guess this is long enough...
Know how you feel. When we buried my brother a few years ago I never cried so hard in my life. But that night my aunts, uncles, cousins and I sat around and told stories about him, some which I'd never heard. Never laughed so hard in my life. That's what it's all about.
