Yep, I felt a little uneasy as if they should have turned off the cameras. It was such a private moment of grief and we (the viewers) were voyeur's (sp?).

Yea, I kind of felt like we were intruding....Nancy just looked so lost. She reminded me of my grandmother when my grandfather passed away.

I think it was a testament to Ron and Nancy's compassion and understanding that they allowed us to share in their grief.

God bless them.

"It was such a private moment of grief ..."

It was - but that tableau of Nancy and the children at the coffin is also universal. I don't know why there has to be so much pain in the world.

Yep. I teared up several times that day. But when poor Nancy put her head down on his casket I had to leave. Every moment to that point had been so well choreographed (as a tribute to a giant of our time) but that moment was so private that I had to leave in tears.

Luckily I can smoke on the porch with my dog so I had a refuge but it took a little while to get over the camera's intrusion into that moment. They could have panned to the sunset. Other than that the whole day's coverage was phenomenal. What a send-off. I told my family that's exactly the way I want it done when I go ... you guys and gals are invited of course ... ;-)
