My dads funeral was today

[textbookcase]

It was so hard but it was a beautiful service. So many people were there. He was a longtime active Rotarian and his whole Rotary club was there, they actually prearranged w the church to have the 3 front rows of the church on the side opposite our family. They "conducted a meeting" so he could be at his last meeting. It was super touching. He is a produce salesman and deals with people on the phone all the time. Some of his clients who he had done business with for years but never met flew in for the service, which was surprising and so nice. He would have loved it. It's been a super hard month or so and now it's time to start our new normal without Papa here. Keira broke my heart the other day when she said "I've seen him every day of my life for 10 years and now I have to live without him" 😢💔

I'm glad that his funeral paid such a tribute to his life. He was a wonderful man and he will live in the hearts and memories of many.

Much love you my dear.

I'm so very sorry. It sounds like a beautiful tribute; your dad clearly touched many people in life. Wishing you peace.

Hugs and prayers for you and your family. It says a lot about your dad that those people made such a point to attend his service.

Your daughter's comment is heartbreaking. Grandparents are such special, and it's so hard to lose them. I'm certain you will do a good job of keeping his memory alive for your girls. They may not see him, but he'll always be there.

That does sound lovely. I'm sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry.

He must have been a wonderful guy. That people flew in that had never met him in person and so forth is really a testament to how many people he touched.

That's what Bonnie keeps telling her, "you should be happy, Keira, he doesn't hurt and he's always here in our hearts" awww ❤
