Memorial Service for Tom

Although Tom, Steve's brother, passed away on December 26, 2011, a memorial service was not held until Saturday, August 11, 2012.  Finally the time came that the family could come together and celebrate Tom's life.  Steve planned the service and ordered the headstone to match his mom and dad's.  It was a nice memorial held in Moore, Idaho, which is where Steve and his brother and sisters grew up.  After the service we traveled to the Lost River Cemetery not far from the church where Tom's ashes were buried.  After the burial we headed back to the church for a delicious luncheon that Florence had prepared.  I hadn't been in Idaho for quite some time, so it seemed good to reconnect with his family and enjoy fond memories of his brother.

I love the caption on the headstone which reads
"AT HOME WITH GOD AND FAMILY."
