What an amazing day

Yesterday I attended the memorial service for my friend. The service was simply amazing. There were no less than 500 people there which is a true testament to the type of person he was. He was the type of person that everyone loved. I don't think in the 15 years I knew him I have ever heard someone say something bad about him. He was the type of guy that would give you a great big bear hug every time he saw you. He was always the life of the party and he will be truly missed by all people whose life he touched.

At the service you could feel the love that everyone had for him. His wife, his parents and brothers showed such strength in the face of this enormous loss. Although the service was full of tears, we all know that he is in a better place now.

The last time I saw him was at the wedding I stood in recently. He wasn't feeling well so he didn't make it to the service, but he did make it to the reception for about an hour. It was so great to see him out and about. Here's a pict from that night:


I hope you all having amazing weekends!
