wow. just wow. I really choked up at pics of him, and loved the pics of him and Cinder and Smokey in the casket.

There were two firefighters standing guard...a man with a light ginger beard who always seemed quite sad in the photos. I have to wonder if Phred was a loving and tough mentor to him, or even just was like a dad to him on occasion. The other one was a bit older, with a large dark moustache and eyes the same - he looked like he was remembering many things.

And that young woman - I paused on her picture. I agree she did seem very emotional.

Phred was so special to so very many people. I hope he knew how very loved he was, especially with all the cards that came in.

I do hope there is life after death and that Phred was able to see everything. Staci, I think I saw you in one photo.

Those fire engines - all of them - cleaned and polished, every square inch. wow.

Thank you so much for posting this.
