songs I hate; funeral pics

Here are some pictures from my grandfather's (David Yazell's) funeral. He was a World War II Marine Corps veteran. I gave the eulogy and played "Be Still My Soul," a flute solo. The meeting with family was a great experience and a lovely tribute to, and celebration of, my "Gramper"'s life.Jerry, me, Rebekah: Heads as they appear left to right: me, Brian (Amanda's husband), April, Amanda, Guy, Jerry

I have to agree 99% on those songs. My humps actually motivates me when I run. And Hey There De Only because my nephew plays hey there delilah makes me think of my nephew. But everything else is spot on. For me, at least.
