Phred has Passed, the Prayer Pups join our family & funeral news (pg. 13)

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.

Another heart felt thank you Staci for posting the pictures, the video and all the other things you did.
As I sit here with tears running down my eyes I'll never forget how Phred left his impression on each and everyone of us.

We're gonna miss you fireman Phred.

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.

What Karen said about the "empty" pews not really being empty, but filled with all of us that couldn't be there in person said it best... we were all there in spirit Phred. Thank you for being.

p.s. Staci, I will see you (and everyone) Memorial Day.
