Today is my Grandfathers Funeral Mass. Can you please say a prayer that despite all the dysfunction this will go well.

Thank you!

Thank you for the prayers.

It was a very stressful day. We all had a little laugh though, and hopefully grandpop did too, when the Priest was talking about my children running around the church just like the 7 of us did when he pastored us in Hawaii. My little niece 7 months was singing the whole time. I am sure grandpop loved that!
He was put to rest at Rosecrans Military Cemetary on Pt. Loma, you could not ask for more beautiful resting place.
After all was said and done my brothers took off to raise a toast in a Irish Pub for grandpop. I took my kids to the beach where they swam in their clothes. Their khakis and button down shirts were just drenched. They loved it and I am sure my family in heaven was laughing and enjoying every minute.
