Celebration of Dad's Life

Thank you to all who came to my dad's funeral and participated in the most amazing and wonderful celebration of his life led by Rev. Reggie Thaxton.  I  will treasure forever the sight of all those cars and the handshakes of the many friends who have been a part of his life over those nearly 90 years.

Crossing the Bar

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
