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

Thank you, Staci. Douglas and I just watched the slide show. Great photos.

Thank you for the video Diana and for braving the cold to take it. Thanks also to you Staci for posting the PhotoShow link. Both of which touched the heart with the respect and honour shown to our dear Phred, most especially the fire truck parade.

One small thing about the PhotoShow puzzled me however, as to why the accompanying music chosen was 'Land of Hope and Glory' an essentially British patriotic song.

It may be British in origin, but it is played in the USA at many high school graduations - or at least it once was.

Had a dream last night, even though I never met Phred or his dogs, Cinder and Smoke, his dogs were in my house, hanging out on the couch. He must've sent his dogs to check on me.

Aww, what a nice thought.


Thanks Staci for posting the photos. It looked like a beautiful service
for Phred. It's nice to know he was afforded the respect & admiration of
so many people. The pet pictures on the casket gave me LES.

I think Phred would have approved of everything.

Wow, that was really hard to watch. That was sweet to have photos of his pups with him. It looks like he was given the honor that he deserved, he would have loved the fact that all the firetrucks came. I hope he knows that if everyone who wanted to be there could have came every seat would have been filled.

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.
