Default After the celebration
I lost my brother, Wally, to cancer on Tuesday. A loving brother, father, musician, and minister, he made an impact on many lives. There were over 300 attendees at his 2:00 service on Friday. It was a celebration, not a funeral. He is in a better place now.
I came home and dropped some stuff on the bed, and as I walked back by I thought maybe there's a picture in here somewhere. It may not be a great photo, but I wanted to share it. We share our pictures to share our experiences, to bring someone back to a place we were. Here's where I was Friday.

FNumber : F5.0

FocalLength : 39.00(mm)

Prayers for Wally's family; I am so sorry for your loss.

You look a lot alike. He sounds like a fine fellow & I know he will be missed. Until the time you are reunited, there is a special angel watching over you.
