Thanks for your prayers...
Tough time for everybody but all in all, everything worked out OK. It was good to spend time with my sister and the kids (well, they're not kids anymore). The mass was really nice; the priest knew my brother in law very well and it was a wonderful service. At the burial they were able to have a military service complete with taps and the handing over of the American flag to my sister. Very emotional time. My oldest brother an I were pall bearers.
My sister has the closing on the new house tomorrow morning. We took a ride there this morning to take a walk through of the place (what a beautiful house) and look at the new community she'll be living in. She's actually moving in on Friday, a week to the day her husband passed away.
Again, thanks for the prayers. I'll catch up on all of the emails over the next couple of days.
