stand4hope Posted June 28, 2004 Author Share Posted June 28, 2004 Thank you all for your comforting words. My dad's service was wonderful. The pastor spoke the perfect words about our dad, and the service at the cemetery was especially moving. Five of our dad's friends from The American Legion raised the flag, received the command, "Our comrade has fallen", did a gun salute firing the rifles three times, and another one played taps on a bugle. It was very moving and well-deserved because he was a soldier and very patriotic. My brother was presented the flag which was also very moving and in his words, "That is now my most precious possession." I thought you all might like to read the poem we selected for the brochure - it was so appropriate. Thank you all again for your kinds words. I will be back posting soon and responding to PMs, but it may be a couple of days. Here's the poem: GOD'S GARDEN God looked around His garden; He found an empty place He then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering; He knew you were in pain He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw that road was getting rough and the hills are hard to climb So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered peace be thine. It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn't go alone For part of us went with you the day God called you home. Love to all, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addie Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Peggy... I do not generally visit this forum as it's too difficult. But a comment you made in another post, in another forum caught my attention so I came here looking.....and am so sorry to find this thread. Please accept my sympathies on the loss of your father. I'm so sorry. He sounds like he was a man with a wonderful, positive outlook and spirit and clearly, he was well loved. I know he'll live on in you and in your heart.
