Even Less Sugar: A Graceful Goodbye

It’s been almost two months since Ian’s memorial service. I’ve tried several times to post about the beauty of the day and what it meant to me and my family … but I have come up short. Instead, here are some photos of the grave-side military honors, followed by a link to the service itself.
