We woke up and left for St Louis at about 4:00 AM. We got there just before the viewing for Nick's uncle Alan was about to start. Alan passed away from cancer just a few weeks after his diagnosis. He was really an exceptional, upstanding guy. One of the sweetest things about the funeral was seeing more than a dozen Boy Scouts in full uniform act as ushers and assist in the funeral. Alan had spent much of his adult life in scouting. The Bishop commented that in the last 3 1/2 years, Alan had taken the scouts on 41 camp outs.
In addition to the sadness of the funeral, there is also the sweet part of getting to meet with family from far and wide. It's always special when we get to see Grandpa Buddy.
