Sandy,Ed,Abby&Theresa,
Fort Snelling National Cemetary was beautiful Friday. The Flag barriers standing at attention with the wind crisply waving Ol'Glory as we drove up the road was very special. The bugler played his horn proudly for Jerry. And the guns were sounded one last time for him and us. It reminds us of the cost our soldiers pay for defending this great country! What a wonderful send off from this world to heaven.
Our Pastor says that twenty-five years on earth is like a minute in heaven. It may seem difficult and lonesome to us down on earth;but in heaven, Jerry will only have to wait a few minutes to see his family and friends again.
