A Hero's Welcome to the Cemetery
The service...
My father.... an incredible eulogy for an incredible man... my father's best friend
The grave stone. You can see his Superman symbol.. and the red flowers that stained the stone (OOPS..)
Solemn moments....One year ago yesterday my father lost his best friend. My father was by my uncle's side as he made his journey to the other side. My mother, my cousin and my cousin's wife were also there at his side. It was a peaceful passing... as peaceful as it could be.... he passed away on my grandmother's birthday (His mother) so it was as if she came to bring him home to the Lord on her birthday. I was due to have my ceserean section on the same day my grandmother had passed away (Dec 4th) and I was a bit weirded out at the whole aspect of Uncle Pete passing on her birthday and me bringing new life on her Heaven Day.... I am glad CJ decided to come in to this world on his own day... but I guess it would not have been bad as Grandma Lannon loved little children... and Grandma Lannon would have loved her sad day to be turned in to a happy one with the birth of a new baby..... so.... here are some pics from Uncle Peter's Funeral a year ago.... He was a much loved man and a pillar in his community.... and his funeral was nothing short of breathtaking... and just absolutely the perfect send off.... Rest in Peace Uncle Peter... I hope we can find a way to kick this pancreatic cancer garbage... you didnt even get a fighting chance.....
