Viewing and Funeral - Sad

17 January 2020 Monday

It was about ten this morning when we left home.  There were several place we wanted to stop before we got to Robert's house.  We stopped at Wall Mart and only bought two things.  Carol wanted some Excedrin, but they didn't have any.   Next, we stopped at Costco.  We took a small picture of Eric in his military uniform.    We wanted a larger print.  The ink for my printer run out.  I took the ink cartridges to have them refilled.   Costco didn't have any Excedrin either.   We had lunch at this Chinese buffet. in south Orem.

We drove down to the Utah lake.  Just before we got there, there was boat storage facility with different signs for gasoline companies.

We drove along the Geneva road.  It is unbelievable at the amount of new building on both sides of the road.  There are apartments, condos, and offices.

We then went to Robert's houses.  We were early.  A little later we went to American Fork to the Anderson and Son mortuary for the viewing of our son Eric.

I was a sad occasion.  But on the other side we net a lot of friends from American Fork.  The sad part was the difficulty April, Eric's wife was having and extremely difficult time.

For sleeping in a different bed, I slept really well.  I got up for the bathroom the usually amount of times. We watched one show on the TV that was in Carol's room..  Carol went to bed in that room and I slept in the bed in an other room.  It was about seven when I got up, shaved and brushed my teeth.  We had a quick breakfast.  We rode with Robert to Draper where the funeral was held.  

The following pictures were taken a the veteran cemetery.

 April is receiving the flag from one of the offices.
