The Mister at Rest

For those of you who attended Ed’s Remembrance Service, Thank You. For those who weren’t able to be there, I know you were, in spirit.

For those of you who attended and participated in the service, Thank You. It was a beautiful tribute and ceremony, executed perfectly with sincere feeling and meanings.

He rests now in Beatrice, warm and dry at home with his cedar evergreen sprigs giving him immortality. He is still with me.

Preparation

A simple display of a fully-led life is ready to deliver for the remembrance ceremony tomorrow evening. My beautiful handmade "Beatrice" raku pot will be the centerpiece and contain the cremains.

A meaning of the name Beatrice is "bringer of joy and blessings." Surrounding it will be several photographs displayed in simple see-through frames. It is what my Mister wanted, a small gathering with a Masonic service.

Here are a few of the photos I've chosen. The retirement gift of a pyrography art piece on wood done by a local artist in 1998 is included (shown below) and perhaps his favorite hand tool, a mechanic's wrench will be there. I'm not sure about that yet. He was a tip top mechanic all of his life.

#1498 Eighty-four

I never let anyone tell me, "Age is just a number." It is NOT! It is a goal! Today is is 84.

The Mister woke up this morning and was at the table drinking his coffee when I came into the room and greeted him with "Happy Birthday!" Now I'm not sure if he really forgot or not, but he said he did! My usual question is "What did your sugar level test?" We both keep track of that.

Please forgive me for not having his hunting, and police days images scanned. Shoulda - Coulda - I have a large collection of those including many of his racing photos in hands-on albums along with many certificates of commendation and news articles.
