Very sad to hear this, and very sorry for your loss.

We got all of the arrangements made yesterday. Daddy has just enough in his checking to cover his final expenses. My sister and I went and retrieved all the family photos. My wife and I are going to undergo the massive project of scanning them all so that all three of us kids can have copies. We will return the originals with my brother and sister in them to them. We will all still have copies, so this will be a good thing because no one will have to wish and trade for what they wanted. At times like this, technology is great.

The visitation will be today at Anderson Funeral Home in Alexandria, TN from 10 AM to 9 PM. Tomorrow visitation will be from 10 AM to 1 PM with the funeral beginning at 1 PM.

God is with you today with the visitation and tomorrow with the funeral.
You and your family are in my prayers today and tomorrow.
For me the funeral of my daddy was terrible.

That's long the visitation from 10 AM till 9 PM.
People can come and give the familt, friends and other people their sympathy?

I hope it's a wonderful service, a service where God shows His comfort to you all.

Chris and Darren and other family, you are in my prayers today.
It's rough to burry your daddy.
I remember how terrible the funeral of my dad was.

Ok, I'll probably start crying again, but I am ready to share some of
the things that God blessed us with during our stay at the
hospital--and even after.

Blessing 1:

When my dad died, I was very concerned because I did not know where he
stood for Christ. The preacher that did the funeral tried to reassure
us, but he did not know my dad very well.

A called a local pastor on Saturday (after the funeral) to see if I
could borrow some costumes for my youth Christmas program. This pastor
had met my dad, and had visited with him about 7-8 times in his home
between May and August. (My dad had his first stroke in Aug.) Anyway,
one of the conversations turned towards the spiritual things.

The pastor first told me how proud daddy was of all of us: me, my
sister and her children, and my brother. I had never told this pastor
that I had a brother and sister. There was more info provided that no
one would know without talking to my dad. So, I know it was real.

Then, this pastor asked my dad about getting things right with the
Lord. My dad told him that he had done that many years ago, but
stopped going to church due to something that had happened in the
church. He also said that my grandfather had always taught him to not
discuss your feelings, politics, or religion. So, he kept all of that
to himself. It's just who he was.

So, the biggest blessing of all is knowing that my dad was very proud of me, and that he has made his home with Jesus.




I will share more later, but I cannot right now.

We really understand.
Share more when you can.
God has given us tears to use for grief like losing your dad.
These words thouch me too.

That is a fantasticly reassuring! It must make you feel much better about your fathers passing.

Today is not a good day. With it being Christmas Eve, I am missing daddy pretty badly.

Prayin for you bud. I know it's got to be hard. You are in the prayers of my whole family.

Your entire family is in my prayers today.

I know how it feels now you lost your dad.
I really remember my deep, very deep grief about losing my daddy.

For me, there were few tears today. On the way to visit with Alldat and Seester, a song came on that brought sweet memories to the front of my mind. A few silent tears, of joy, not sorrow.

Once we got to TN, it was all fun and laughs. I will always miss daddy and Christmas will never be the same, but in my own way, I am fully at peace with daddy 'going home'.....
