Lost.....another Veteran of World War II
Last Thanksgiving, I wrote about my old friend, Mr. Ed, an 88 year old World War II veteran who had just celebrated what we felt was his last Thanksgiving.  His poor old body was worn out, but his mind was still good enough to give thanks for Christmas and to celebrate the arrival of the new year.
But, a couple of weeks ago, that tired body gave up the fight and Mr. Ed left us early one morning.  He was at home - as usual - with Mrs. Becky, who had cared for him tirelessly and with no thoughts of anything but his well being for the four years of declining health that led to the last day.
His funeral was held on a cold, wet Wednesday morning in Gallatin, Tennessee.  Visitation was the previous afternoon and hundreds of his friends and the residents of Gallatin who had known him and his family for 80+ years gathered to pay their respects.  His three children were there and most of their children and grandchildren were there, too.  Everyone who could come dropped by to pay their respects.  It was as it should be.  A life well lived honored by those who cared.
Knowing Mr Ed was ... more
