GrandDad Harris' Funeral






The pictures say alot of  it. Dad conducted the service at the Mortuary and it is on DVD to see when you get home if you want. Ronnie put together the SWEETEST memorial DVD of his life. They had an open mic and people took turns telling their favorite things and stories of Grand Dad---I really liked that. Uncle Randy wrote and spoke one his cowboy poems.The Navy came and gave GrandDad military honors and the dear boy who did the folding of the flag had his hands trembling so much that you loved him to the core. You could tell he  wanted it to be perfect for the family. So much family there. You were missed. Ellen is such a trooper, she was comforting every body else. One thing about Alzheimer's is the relief when they are released.from that trapped body.  The sun was shinning  and it was in the 60's---couldn't have been a more perfect day outside to top off all the brightness of the love flowing so freely. I was taken how I have been a member of this family for almost 30 years now...and how much I love them...AND their life stories. Life is a beautiful thing....and from where I am now, I am convinced death is as well.
