Tena, 

So sorry for your loss. I'm glad you had the time to say "goodbye" to him.

Subject: [LIT] Thank you ...

Yesterday was my stepfather's funeral. What a wonderful celebration of
his life. My daughters sang in stunning harmony both for him at
Hospice and at his funeral. After many months of increasing
disability, George spent the last 10 days at The Hospice House where
family was in constant attendance. During that time, I was able to
scan and incorporate photos of George's interesting life and create an
incredible slide show. George even helped me with names and events as
he described his life. From working in the woods as a youngster to
joining the Army-Navy in WWII. He was at Normandy and re-upped for the
Korean War. He was a father, a farmer, a teacher, ( Like me, went back
to school at 40) a quilter and wore many others hats as he sat on
various committees and the like. It was an honor to help and my mother
was comforted by each family and their support. I learned much about
my step father and his first family and it made us all even closer.
Thank you to all on our list who helped me with the technical aspect.
I had never actually burned a DVD before always using a thumb drive
and LCD projector. --
