  Peekaboo Hey everybody... I'm in FL right now. Today was the funeral. Calling/Viewing hours started at 10am. The service started at 12. Everyone liked my song, which made me feel amazing. I just wish that Grandma Sheila could have heard it, but who knows... maybe she did. :)

After the service, we went to the cemetary, and I helped carry the casket (spelling?) to the "hole." It is a weird feeling seeing the casket opened during the viewing hours then carrying the casket out of the hurse car thing. I loved my Grandma Sheila a lot. At the end, we all got to place roses on the casket before we left. Then we all went to the Hideaway Beach Club for a buffet luncheon thing. My Grandaddy did well throughout the day. He's a strong guy, and I know today was really hard for him, as it was for all of us. I love him.

The funeral was beautiful in all aspects. Their were like 23402837087234 flower arrangements from different people, the pastor spoke so elegantly, the daughters are all my Grandaddy's support. The Church was beautiful. The club was gorgeous.

Two cool things happened too. During the sermon, it was sunny outside. Beautiful blue skies. Then, when we left the church to go to the cemetary, it started raining. I thought that was cool, sort of signifying "refreshment" or "new life." Secondly, once all the formal day was done, everyone went down to the pool/beach in the evening. On the beach, we looked towards the condo complex place where my Grandaddy lives, and there was a double rainbow perfectly over the entire building. It was beautiful.

Again, I love her.
Thank you to everybody who has been praying for my family, both immediate and extended.
Hope all is well in NY.

-Jeff
