Mom's Funeral

The above picture is of my honey, Tim, in front of St. John's Lutheran Church.  The service was nice and honoring to Mom.  She was a beautiful woman inside and out, one that I am grateful to have known and especially to have had for a mother-in-law.

The grandchildren were the pallbearers. 

This picture is (l-r) Ryan, Jared, and Brandon.

Not a very good picture but (l-r) Mike (Tim's brother), Tracey (Tim's sister), Troy, Eric (both cousins), Kara (Eric's girlfriend),  Mark (Tim's good friend from North Carolina), and the back of Tim.

We had a light lunch after the funeral with the burial at the Veteran's Cemetery south of Mandan at 3:00.  They only do one burial every hour with the last of the day at 3:00.  It is such a beautiful cemetery overlooking the Missouri River.

We had a short service in the building and were all invited to go down to the burial site.   The spouse is buried on top of the veteran.  I suppose it would be the opposite if the spouse died first.  The veteran's name is on the front of the headstone and the spouse's is on the back.

The workers were very efficient.  They had the grave filled in and sod on top before we left the cemetery.

All I can say right now is "Rest in Peace, Mom."
