The funeral for Grandpa was Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. italy time. Ed and I were in Manarola in the Cinque Terre. We walked up the town around 4 to a church. There was a nice alter in the church. I lit a candle there and prayed for a while.Then we took a walk through lemon groves and vineyards up through the town. It was beautiful. It lead to a cemetery overlooking the water. It was a beautiful place. We spent about a half hour just looking at all the pictures and tombs of the people buried there.
At 5:00, I sat on the ledge by the cemetary just overlooking the town for about a half hour. I thought about all the good times we had with Grandpa and just spent time thinking about everyone back home at the service and praying for all of you. I wish I could have been there with you and with Grandma.
