The funeral went well, yesterday evening. I'm not sure how many people showed up, but I'd say it was at least three hundred. If the number of people attending one's funeral is a testimony of love, then my grandfather was a well-loved man, indeed.
This morning, the burial service included an honor guard and twenty-one gun salute, preceded by a few words from a minister friend of the family. Quite a few people braved the cold weather, as well.
I just wanted to say thanks again for all the prayers and well wishes. They're very much appreciated. The family is sorrowful, as is expected, but we're all getting by.
