Neal's Funeral....

 


This alone; I ask of you
that you act justly, love tenderly,
and walk humbly with God
Micah Chapter 6 Verse 1
(from Funeral Program)

 

At National Memorial Park (continued)

All of these pictures were taken at the Cemetery where Neal is laid to rest.  

The ambulance Neal was transported in...

One of the final things that happened was the ringing of the bell.   
They announced that radio traffic at 10:00am (the time of Neal's service at St. Mary's) was halted for 1 minute of silence 
followed by the official announcement that Neal was permanently 10-7 (Out of Service) in Stafford County.  

They then rang the bell, 5 short chimes three times in succession... Signal 5-5-5
the international signal that lets firefighters know that one of their own has been killed in the line of duty.

As I left, I kissed the casket and promised Neal that our child would know who he was... 
and there hasn't been one day in the last 13 months that I haven't said his name to her.  
Neal used to tell me...  A promise is a promise... No Matter What.

God Bless you Pooh... and May You Always Rest in Peace my Love

We all continue to miss you....
