it all came together last week, just 3 days after Memorial Day with a Chaplin leading the Service in the Chapel. The Chaplins talk, the unfurling and folding of the Flag by the Military, the Presentation of the Flag……were all part of a beautiful Thursday morning service. Later that afternoon, we found the temporary grave marker where their ashes are now



buried.

a granite stone with his name on one side, and my mother on the other will be added in August.
