After the funeral, we pretty much crashed. Total exhaustion and emotional drain. But, I'm doing much better now. I can feel the prayers of others who have prayed for us to be comforted. I am at peace that Emilee is at rest and no longer in pain. I will still go down on Mondays and I'm sure there will be tearful moments for months to come, but they will be good healthy full of memory tears.
The funeral was great and went smoothly. The hardest part for me was watching my brother stand alone and greet people at the viewing. He was so strong. The other hardest part was watching the 4 of them take their first family picture without Emilee. I get choked up looking at this picture. They are handsome guys, aren't they?

It gives me the shivers to look at that picture--smiling so bravely. :)
They are smiling bravely. Very good looking boys. Good luck with emotional recovery. We would like to come down some time and see you guys one of these days.
Can you email me the picture? I was so busy that I don't think I got a single photo. THANK YOU again for all you have done, and will continue to do for Emilee's family. You are truly a saint. Don't hesitate to call or email me if you have any questions as to the disposition of STUFF. I also have my teary moments. I just try to keep busy.
Love, Bonnie
I love the new blog! I hope you and your family find a new normal without Emilee. You will get there, it just takes time and moments of tears. Are you going to Pres. Stevenson's funeral next week? I wouldn't be surprised to see some of your family!
Take Care,
Tiff
My heart broke as he had to dedicate Emilee's grave. Even though I knew it was his last act of service for her it made me sad to watch. I thought they all did wonderful at the viewing and the funeral.
