What a wonderful service for your dad/grandpa. The pictures made me wish I had known him, loved his smile! He most assuredly looked down over the group assembled with pride. Sara gave a beautiful biography of her grandfather. My condolences to the family. Know that he will continue to be present in your life. You are in my prayers.
