Last Friday was Big Ed's funeral, which was incredibly sad. He was active in the local Marines association, and they did a Marine part of the funeral. Then the Catholic funeral mass, which seemed to last weeks. That was all after the over an hour ride to the church, down near the shore.</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">To the Veterans Cemetery for more Marine tradition, including a gun salute and taps, which always does me in. The folding of the flag. Then more Catholic stuff. </span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Finally, off to the funeral luncheon, which was really good. Being jersey, it was at an Italian restaurant. Then the long ride home. It was almost 5 when we got home, and I took a nap.

He will be missed. </span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">And he died on Julianna's birthday, which was hard on her. She did take her driver's test the next day, and passed, yay!
