I am going to a funeral on Monday
He was my brother in laws Father. This guy was amazing! He lost his leg at 21-years-old and fought through that. He was kind, gentle, and a very devoted Father. I really started liking this guy when he played pickle with the kids while wearing his oxygen.He sure was something. Did I mention what a wonderful liberal he was? I wish I could call him out by name, but you know how sick the freepers are. Thanks, guy, I will honor you by playing pickle on Monday. I will mass email and tell the kids to bring their gloves.

Safe passage to him...

4. I'm glad you think 64 is young! That's how old I am...
And why would you offend anyone?

Because you hadn't been to a funeral in 20 years? People behave the way they always have at those...

Respectfully...
