A boy and brother
A young trouble maker and handsome guy (yes, that is a schoolyard, yes that is a cigarette!) The one with the car - he is seventeen!
A military man and midnight sky diver
A husband and newlywed
A young father, an older father
A hard working mechanic who often smelled of oil, sweat and cigs.
A trucker through and through. A dog lover like no other.
My father of the bride
A grandfather to Brenda, Christopher, Sabrina, Evan and Finley
Generous to a fault (we were all laughing remembering the time he gave away our Thanksgiving turkey:) Oh, and an absolutely hopeless romantic... Here he is with his "girlfriend" as he liked to call Mom.
Alas, he was a pretty crappy patient. He never admitted to the amount of pain he was in and always tried to do way to much. One of the last photos taken of him - the day we sprung him from the hospital. He was so happy to be home.
Whew, well there it is. The pictures I can do. The words to say about the loss of my father I cannot do here now. Oh, my gosh - though he drove us crazy much of the time we all loved him so, did we not? His friend Jacob described him as an angel - I really like that.

and that is the best name ever.
My father believes that heaven and hell are how a person is remembered when they've passed. Clearly Woodbury Megrew Burgess II is soaring in the light and love of his well lived life!
I send you my love and support as you begin to find peace again...
& by the way, you were a very, very beautiful bride!
Woody would love this I think.
