I am sorry for your loss my friend. You were a good friend to the man, and I know he loved you dearly, as you loved him. I am confident he is being welcomed with the words “Well done good and faithful servant”.
Thanks all of you for the comments.
The funeral is tomorrow evening, and the interment is Thursday with full military honors.
I know I will not have a dry eye when I watch that much deserved military salute.
Delbert would be so proud.
I had a friend from Greeneville (Delbert’s hometown, two hours from here) call me today and tell me they heard his obituary read on the local radio station, and I was listed as a very special relative/friend.
Grammy, when we fish in Nashville next week we’ll catch a few bass for Delbert. He was a bass fishing fanatic, and may give us a little help from above.
