Diane, Em was a little concerned about her remarks from the pulpit (which I was perfectly okay with) but you simply confirmed everything I felt. I told her, "the people that knew us and loved us would laugh and appreciate it and the people who would be offended were never our friends to begin with"...BINGO DIANE!!!!!<br /><br />I love you so much, buddy....I was so happy to see you walk into that room....so very very happy.....that must be what it will be like in the Celestial Kingdom huh? :)The Katzboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294319827172611178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210410843605789940.post-24848640361791271422009-05-15T19:57:00.000-07:002009-05-15T19:57:00.000-07:00Phew!

I did say "lesbian bar" over the pulpit. <br />*Lightning strikes*<br />but, that story was so him, that I couldn't leave it out.

And Eli, I THOUGHT yo...Don would LOVE this picture. And Eli, I THOUGHT you looked tall when I looked at it. I am so glad we got to share last Saturday with you all. No words, really, to describe the funeral. Except perfect. And awful. All at the same time. <br />And the Bowman Six? Well, I'd say it's still six. The big guy just went ahead to scout out the next campsite. <br />Love you guys....each and every one. <br />Oh, and Miss Em, during your talk, when you said "So I guess I still win"...well, I had to work HARD to keep from laughing way too loud, but then I looked over at David, and he threw his head back and laughed like crazy, and your Grandma was smiling bigtime. Gotta love a family like that.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394373054305434429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210410843605789940.post-3341524102976384892009-05-15T18:51:00.000-07:002009-05-15T18:51:00.000-07:00haaaaaaaaaa!!

I do not remember that but I believe it. Back then I was to shy to pick up the phone and order a pizza..Thank gosh things have changed. <br />Just got back from San Diego where we had a celebration for Mike's 60th birthday. Thinking of you, your family and Don I held on to Mike and our friends just a little bit tighter and found myself thanking God several times a day for the beautiful glorious moments we shared. Moments that are already just pictures and memories.<br />When you are rested up..lets do something good!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102491734998393830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210410843605789940.post-77385399879043089392009-05-14T11:26:00.000-07:002009-05-14T11:26:00.000-07:00Ennbee, thanks so much...I realize you know a lot ...Ennbee, thanks so much...I realize you know a lot how this feels...I don't think that last sentence was grammatically correct, but oh well...thank you...I may email you if it gets too weird...you're a pal...did you check out the photo at the top of the blog?
