David's Funeral

Yesterday we had the funeral for my Uncle David. There were so many people there. One of the coolest things that I saw yesterday was how many people that had worked with David over the years came to the funeral to pay their respects. All of them came in their uniforms (He worked for Forest Services in various places). I introduced myself to one of them and told him I was David's nephew. He said, "you must be one of the ones that loved baseball so much." I was floored. It meant so much to me that David talked so much about his family. One of the Forest Service representatives read a letter from the Forest Service during the funeral and expressed his condolences. It was really emotional. I did okay giving his eulogy, thanks to mike for the advice the night before. I finally stopped worrying so much about it and let God give me the words to say. I just wanted it to be right for David, he deserved it. It was tough but I think he was given a great funeral and he will be well remembered by all who knew him. He was a great man.
