Final Itinerary:


Funeral services and staging time remain as posted below.

  At the conclusion of Mr. Rawley's funeral service, we will provide an escort to the cemetery, approximately 10 miles.   Flags can be flown during the escort as we will be travelling no faster than 40 mph.   Please make sure all flag mounts are very secure. Once we reach the cemetery, we will stand a flag line until the family departs. 

  The cemetery is fairly large, with a narrow, paved road.  Parking will be limited.  KICKPLATES ARE A MUST!!.  I will discuss our parking with the funeral director in the a.m. before the ride briefing.

  Forecast is:  High - 70, 20% chance precip., partly cloudy.  Please dress accordingly and keep yourself hydrated.

                                                                                                 Thank you,

Some people’s lives are beautiful examples of putting others first, and when they are gone, the lives of those they touched are so much richer, and the love they shared lives on and on.”
