Funeral

This picture says it all. Nigel We love you and Miss you.

Nigel's Funeral was hard to get through but I felt him there. He stood by all of us as we all gave are talks. I have not seen that many people at a funeral. Unless they were some famous person. And Nigel was just a quite young man who died doing what he loved. I have said many times since his death that I have lost one brother but I have gained 160+. All the Marines from his unit here and in Afghanistan have been so wonderful. Writing to us and letting us know that he was their friend and that he was a great Marine. I have complained that I only have one sister-in-law and she lives in Idaho and so know i have so many that I can't wait to meet them all. The unit should be arriving here in Utah the first part of June. I can't wait to see them all and give everyone a big hug and thank them all for their service.

OK back to the funeral. What an experience we had the Patriot guard riders there to keep the protesters away (yes I said protesters this is a whole different post) they were amazing to see when approaching the church. They lined the sidewalks to each door holding flags and opening the doors for everyone. What respect they have. they heard that Cassi has had a really hard time with him being gone and she has worried about him a lot and he had called her to tell her that he was OK one night. so they made her a special bear that has the PGR vest and they had taken some of their pins off and put them on her bear. They even had the bear ride on there bikes and was hugged by all so that when they gave it to her she new that she was loved and when she felt alone she could hug this bear ans feel all the hugs from them.

If someone can tell me how to post videos that would be awesome I have a ton that I would love to post.
