I’m sorry that you lost your parents so close together.

A military service is very moving. One of our boys is a officer in the Navy. He was able to make arrangements to present me with the flag. It was a surprise to me and very emotional for him. The cemetery people said that was a first for them, and they cried along with the rest of us.

Thank you for the condolences .. They would have been married 58 years if they could have made it to December. Once Dad went Mom just didn’t have the strength I guess. They were both in their 80’s and not in the best of health. Thankfully I was able to spend a lot of that last year with them.

Oh my ... I’ve got tears running just reading about your son’s heart .. - the RESPECT that your son obviously had for his dad ... and YOU is what it’s all about .. (and the love and strength he showed by being able to do it!! WOW)

I’m sorry to hear about your husband ... it’s hard isn’t it.. My best to you.
