Today we said goodby to yet another lifelong friend. From my vantage point at the back of the chapel, I saw much of my 'childhood' in human form, recognizing that growing up in a small town offers many wonderful advantages, not the least of which is a lifetime of relationships (who are more like family than friends).

Seeing so many of our old friends there to honor his life, some from afar, is a testament to the real love small town folks have for each other.
