Sorry to hear about your loss Cooper. We will have a toast in you grandfather's honor, and a prayer for you and your family on Friday.

Maybe this is dumb of me, but what does the red cross have to do with a funeral??

And sorry to hear of your loss cooper.

someone notifies the red cross if something like this happens, then red cross notifies me through work, and they get plans together to get me back home like they did. its one of those military things.

Thats pretty cool, one less thing that the family has to worry about.

Hmmm....when my Grandma died we had to do it all ourselves. But that is cool....did they pay for the ticket.

We lucked out with one of those discount websites we got roundtrip to FL for 4 people for real cheap.

Hope you get back safe and sound, and see you sometime in the New Year!
