My Dad
My Dads headstone is complete and in place. I will be planning another trip to South Dakota very soon to put his ashes in the ground. We have decided to only have the preacher, Grandma, Jeff and I there. We don’t feel a ceremony at this time is necessary. Here is his stone:
Also, I updated the blog about his final days with a little bit more detail towards the end. It was too painful to write it all before but I have found that writing this down has helped me heal more than I ever imagined. Thank you to Rachelle and Jeff for allowing me to put something so personal out here on the web.



Leanne – This is very nice. You kids have done a great job in honoring your dad. I am so proud of all of you! Let me know when you plan a trip back to SD & always know you are welcome at our home. Love, Linda.
Thanks Linda. I’m anxious to get there again but Richard would like to go too! I’m going to wait a few weeks to see if he can get a break long enough to stay for a few days.
