Sobering
I arrived yesterday afternoon at Pittsburgh International airport after a short flight from South Bend, IN. to Detroit, MI and then onto the Burgh, just a couple of 35 min. flights and there I am. The viewing was from 7-9pm and man was it sobering! I have never been to such a sorrowful funeral in all my 29 years here on earth. My heart goes out to the family and the wife and 2 kids left behind. The funeral service was today and overall it went really well. I remembered one particular statement that the minister made that stuck with me, he stated that funerals were not for the deceased but for the living, I thought he was right on. Like I said early "sobering".
