In Memoriam...

This past weekend Clay and I headed to Bedford, Pennsylvania for a memorial service in honor of his father.

It was a long trip for such a short time, but we all take comfort in the fact that his dad can now rest in peace. The service was held at the same church Les was baptized in as a boy. He had family and friends attend the service, including a few he graduated high school with. It was really neat to hear stories about him growing up in that beautiful small town and meet some distant relatives for the first time.

Les was buried in a small private cemetery on the side of a mountain. His mother, grandmother, and other family members are buried there too.

Being out there on a beautiful crisp day was so serene and calm.
