The final good bye

So the funeral was this morning, and it was a nice traditional episcopal service. I'm not one who is hugely on the religious side, but every time Audrey plays amazing grace on the organ...it gets me. It's down right one of the most beautiful songs. 
The funeral was military honors and after the service they covered the caskit with the American flag. 
I tried hard to get good photos of this, it was difficult, but without a doubt one of the most honorable things I've ever witnessed. 
They had a 21 gun salute and played tapps. 
My mom was given the honor of getting to keep the flag, and it was just awesome watching them fold it. 
It took longer than I expected. 

Presenting to our family on behalf of the US government 
It was very moving and extremely emotional for everyone there!
I feel so humbled knowing that my gramps is home with his wife of 62 years and is watching over us all now! 

We are finally back home in Indianola and Ryan and I are slowly making progress. It's hard with three kids!
