Memorial service for a neighbor

One of our cul de sac neighbors passed away in early December, and we celebrated him with a memorial.    His wife waited after the holidays to have the service.  Ed had been pretty healthy for most of his life - but the last year, he started to fail with one thing and another. 

You can't really see him - but even the alligator came to pay his respects - as he often lays outside Ed & Jean's home

The grand kids read a cute poem

It was a nice crowd

The poem that the grand kids read - it's probably too small to read, but it was very well done.
