Funeral

I was going to post about the funeral but I decided that it was a little bit too personal to go into too much detail.

One thing I did notice when we drove from the funeral home to the church and from the church to the graveyard.

The road we drove down was a two lane road with an apron on each side. As the procession traveled almost every car and truck in the opposing lane pulled over to the apron and stopped until we passed.
We were not a big procession. Going to the church it was just a sheriff, the hearse, our car and the car containing the K of C pallbearers. I thought it was really an amazing sign of respect from Texans to someone who had just died. Not a general, a senator or an actor. Just a ordinary guy who had passed on and they were showing respect. I felt very humbled.
