Colonialcrester Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Thanks for thinking of me Mile. So people know, I am not ill and I do have a great job...3 weeks ago my father in law passed away and last week my father died. Something that we all face but we weren't planning on both passing at the same time....started a new job in the middle week. I appreciate the thoughts and suggest everyone give their Dad a hug.

He just started tee ball, but hasn’t warmed up to it like basketball. His first choice for his tv time is not cartoons but games I still have on DVR from last season.

My prayers go up to you and your family through these trying times. My mother had a similar situation when she had two sisters die on the same day and having to go through two viewings and funerals in a 3 day period was very trying.

Our solace lie in knowing their in a better place and still watching over us. Happy Easter to all believers! Sixteen years ago my dad entered hospice on Palm Sunday and died on Pentecost. He was a farm boy who grew up on the banks of the Wabash River just outside the town of Wabash. Graduate of IU in 1928. I and one of my brothers were with him when he passed. What a gift and blessing that was! We had the organist at his church play Back Home Again In Indiana at his funeral. Always think of him at Easter...and my mom. She grew up in New Albany by way of Corydon and Laconia in southern Indiana. Both of them were saints to me. Thoughts and prayers to Colonial. Lost two brothers-in-law the week before Christmas three years ago. I can definitely relate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted April 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Locally, it was expected to rain as the gates opened at 4:30 a.m. for the annual Easter Sunday Service. At Red Rocks, just West of Denver. The rains held off. Kind of symbolic of the day. Red Rocks faces East overlooking the plains. Service starts in the dark. And as the service continues..... the Sun rises in the East. It was especially breathtaking this morning. Over 11K estimated attended today's service.
