So yesterday was the memorial service for Austin, it was at the community beach house on Lake Michigan, we got there about twenty minutes early and the doors were closed because the family was having a private service. The line started forming, we got in and they had two huge projection screens showing slide shows of his life from infancy. It wasn't like a funeral it was a celebration of his life. Still there wasn't a dry eye, his parents were rocks, I don't know how they did this eight days later.
I was told the line went way out into the parking lot.
At the end they had the release of 3 doves, my daughter had one her two best girl friends(consequently his friends going back for years) had the other two and after they let theirs go the Mother,Father and sister let a single one go to represent his spirit, they flew around in like a circle and were gone. What a service!
I'm glad it's behind us so we all can start healing.
Thanks again all for your wise advice and your support, I will Never forget it!
