Phase II plan.
We will meet at 12:30 on Monday at Ray's Market in Veneta. There are 2 coffee outlets for your convenience as well as a Deli/Bakery inside Ray's.
Once we have gathered, there will be a brief (I hope) ride brief and we will head to Elmira High School (approx. 1.5 miles away) where we will await report that Joseph is on his way. A Flag Line will be formed for Honors.
Jim will have a contingency with him to escort Joseph to the services. They are meeting at a location closer to the Funeral Home and have already been briefed.
Easiest direction I can give:
Choose your favorite way to I-5 and head towards Eugene.
Take the Beltline Road exit and head WEST. Follow to the end!
Turn right on West 11th/Highway 126 (Heading West towards the Coast)
When you enter Veneta, Ray's is to the right at the Stop Light.
We will be under the BIG FLAG in their parking lot.
Ride safe and we will see you there.

A Soldier's Prayer
(author unknown)
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Spc. Joseph P. Kenny. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know your son was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always. He will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Joseph.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through. |
