Thanks for posting these, Staci. The last one, especially, was wonderfully sad to absorb.

Staci,

Thank you for all you have done to include us in this memorable tribute to Phred. Without your thoughtfulness, we would have missed very special moments. Phred provided us with so many special moments - it is only right that we share and respect his special moment - a life well lived and a man truly loved and respected.

Thank you for giving us all that moment.

Rest in Peace dear Phred and know you will never be forgotten.

I tried to watch the memorial service but when I saw the empty fireman's outfit I just couldn't do it.
Be at peace now dear Phred.

Watching the Memorial video I had to go get some more tissues - it was a wonderful service. Thank you for sharing this special moment. I'm glad some of you could be there.

As I was flying back home from CA yesterday, I felt a little closer to Phred - and seeing the Fire Engine no. 29 going past us on Wilton Ave. after having visited Gini was simply amazing!

Phred, you will be missed sorely and never forgotten.

Staci, thank you for sharing all this. It helped us to be a part of saying farewell to Phred.

And that fire engine #29 - Phred is still setting up surprises.

I've just spent some time reading this whole thread and viewing the videos.

Staci: many thanks. I know how hard it was for you to capture the service without completely falling apart during filming. I managed to download and save them in RealPlayer format. {{{hugs}}}

Randi/Sara: Yes, I can just imagine how you felt seeing engine #29 pass by. Phred spirit is forever engraved in CA.

So many memories and so many giggles and tears. RIP Phred.

Thanks for the videos Staci. I wish I could have been there in person, it was great to be able to sort of be there with your videos. It's still so unreal, hard to believe he really is gone.

thankfully my sister let me borrow her tripod so I was able to get it set up to stay still. I think Diana got a video of the firetruck parade - but hasn't had time to upload or do anything with them.
