Celebration of Life

Today was my cousin Stephen V. Hailey's Celebration of Life. It was a day of good memories and funny stories...how can it not be with so many Hailey's involved!! (-:

It has been an emotional week. I have visited with family that I haven't seen in a long time. (I hate it that funerals are what people get together for!!) It is fun to reminisce (spelling!!???) with family and hear the stories that you haven't heard before, and even those that you have heard...many times before!!

The ceremony was very nice. Stephen is quite proud of how it turned out I am sure of it. The Honor Guard's were there and it was extremely powerful...the trumpet playing Taps, the Colors Ceremony, the flag presentation...very American and proud. Carol spoke and did a great job, Dennis did a great Eulogy and Don was a great emcee. The Community Center was PACKED with family, friends, fellow Cattlemen, fellow Politicians; he was a loved man by many. I was glad for Pat.
