Rusty and I attended the graveside service this afternoon.Was not a large service and most of the people there were the children and their families. It was nice to get to meet them. Aunt Mary and the girls are doing fine considering the circumstances. They know that he is with the Lord and they will one day all be together again. He lived a long and full life but he will still be missed by all.
