This afternoon at 3:00pm we had a family visitation at Endsley funeral home. We watched a short video of pictures Rachel and Joan put together for the main visitation tomorrow. Each of us had a chance to talk to Joan and Tim but more important listen to them talk about Gabriel. We were to be out of there by 4:00pm but it just didn't get done until around 4:30. Afterward everyone was invited back to mom's for dinner. Karin's colleagues donated so much wonderful food. Jesse, Joan's renter made a big Shepherd's pie for the dinner also and just as we were putting the food out on the table, Katie and Max Hoerr brought over some Italian beef and coleslaw. We had enough food to feed an army and once we were done we could feed another army. A special thank you to these very nice helpful people. We will take the left overs to the fellowship hall and the Old School Center tomorrow.
Joan showed us pictures of after the accident at the hospital, in the planes, at both Haiti airports, then the airport in the states and at the 2 West Palm beach hospitals.
On the way home from mom's I found myself singing All Mighty most Holy God, Glory Hallelujah. Joan reminded us today that the Lord gives and the Lord takes away but blessed be the name of the Lord.
