Thank you for being there, and taking pictures and everything. It means so much to those of us who could not be there. All those pews that look empty? They are really filled by all of us in thought, and I hope all his Ohio friends and Nancy know that.
Thank you so much for posting all the links, Staci. I thought about Phred and you guys all day and your posts make me feel like maybe I was there just a little bit today. Sitting here in tears now thinking about how real this all is now. Its heartbreaking to think of him not posting here at PT and not being at the Findlay gatherings.
Fireman’s Prayer
When I am called to duty, God,
wherever flames may rage,
give me strength to save a life,
whatever be its age.
Help me embrace a little child
before it is too late,
or save an older person from
the horror of that fate.
Enable me to be alert,
and hear the weakest shout,
quickly and efficiently
to put the fire out.
I want to fill my calling,
to give the best in me,
to guard my friend and neighbor,
and protect his property.
And if according to Your will
I must answer death's call,
bless with Your protecting hand,
my family one and all.
~~~~~~
Thanks Staci,
Been thinking about Phred today - thanks to all of you who were able to get there for carrying our love for Phred and our sympathy to his family & friends. LES again, seeing the videos and hearing the firemen's stories. I'll bet Phred had a good laugh "up there" as he listened in.
my face flooded again..
very sweet.. the fireman uniform did me.. I never knew him really but that´s just how special he was..
your description was great.. a much deserved goodbye..
bagpipes.. oh my.. made me choke again.. that is the only thing missing when my hubby passed.. bagpipes.. we both loved them and wanted them when we parted.. although not anytime sooner.. wish I had found some..
Thank you Staci for sharing those with us, God Bless you Phred!
just had to post again.. I´m just watching the vids..
and I´m here sitting laughing while tears flow by.. funny stories.. he surely left so many great memories behind..
Yesterday Randi and I visited Gini. We went out to her backyard and talked and laughed about the bbq in 2005 - when Phred sent the fire engine.
On the way back to the expressway we had to pull over for a fire engine with its siren on.
Randi exclaimed - "It's Engine 29! The same one Phred sent to the bbq!"
He is still with us....
I wish I could have gotten more of the personal stories but I knew my sound wasn't up to par. And I didn't have a big enough card.
I have emailed the The professional photographer said she will
email the vids directly.
OH
Gosh- I TOTALLY forgot.
At a table at the lunch there was a corkboard that was COVERED with envelopes and cards from all over the PET TALK WORLD!!
Joan thought it was so awesome and special she wanted them displayed.
So PetTalker's were represented quite well today!
That made me feel better.. knowing for sure he's still around. Phred may not be here physically but he'll be with us forever.Quote:
