Dad's memorial service
Today was a warm day in Sandy Springs when we drove over from Dunwoody to celebrate my dad's life. I enjoyed the service. I think the pastor did a good job. I was nervous about my part in it; I had volunteered to speak for the family. I knew the pastor would be speaking about his fishing. I spoke about the part of our lives in which my father had such an important part. I talked about the times when my dad came to games and watched our practices and such. I think it went over pretty well. It got a little tough to complete at the end. I wanted to say something important about my father. I am still very addled in my thinking. I will try later to write something worth reading. I will get over this. I just have to complete the processing of the experience.

I am proud to be your brother and know that Dad couldn't have been more proud of the job you did representing his life at the service. Thank you for handling something that neither Susan or I could have done with unbelievable grace and truth.
