Dads Viewing snd Burisl

We drove together to the funeral home in Gilmer just before 5. Karen and Thomas had driven up and arrived around 10pm on Monday night, the night before. We had some great conversations up until 1:30am

At the funeral home we met Ellen, Luke and family. Dennis and Jill and a handful of other folks came to the funeral home. Afterwards we went to Texas Longhorns for dinner. I sat next to Kyle and Sherrie, with Gary, Karen and Michelle across from me.

The next day, Ellen and I drove together the cemetery while Glenn and Luke had the kids in the van. This day was sunny, warm and partly cloudy compared to mom’s burial where it was freezing.

Ronnie had a nice devotion. Steve shared his challenges of marrying into the Marr family. They presented us with the American flag and played taps.

Afterwards, we had lunch at a Mexican restaurant. Delicious food -fajitas with beans and rice. We were able to sit next to Gary and Kyle.

We switched cars and took the van while Ellen and Luke drive together the Burns home before their trip to Florida the next day.
