Picture 2/5: Funeral Rose

February 5

(picture 36 of 365)

The funeral for Grandpa Cecil was today.

A cold day out in the graveyard of rural Delavan. 

But there was warmth in the tent at the burial plot as family and friends gathered to say goodbye to a truly great man.

My brother-in-law did a wonderful job with the service.

Afterwards, the funeral director presented each of the granddaughters with one of these:

A rose from the beautiful floral spray on top of the casket.

A small memento symbolizing the memories we all share of Grandpa Cecil.

One of our girls has already mentioned about figuring a way to dry and preserve it.

Yeah, let's do that.

Out for now......
