I was touched by Mrs. Richway thanking every person for being there. The chilly ride there didn't seem so cold after all after talking to her.

God blessed us all. He held back the rain. The lady holding the flag and shaking everyone's hand commented how our tribute would "do him proud" if he saw it. Somehow I like to believe we are seen. IHG

If we weep for all the deaths for our country, the tears in our eyes would never dry.

My heartfelt gratitude for Mr. Richway's service to our country and my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Alvin Richway. We have the watch .. it is your time to rest.

Hope everyone made it home safely and was able to "thaw" out. Even in the cold, the family took the time to come around and thank every one of us. Mrs. Richway said that having us there made it so much better. God Bless the Richway family.
