Dads funeral

We got up at 6:45 & I got breakfast & we did up dishes & cleaned up house & Mother & Jackie had bath & we got ready and at 10:15 the Mortuary brought Dad out & there was a mob to view him. Berniece, Bill Ruth & families never got there until body came & ma felt bad about that. At 1:30 we left & went over to Menan Ward & had a real nice funeral & went out to Ucon Cemetary & burried him. It was cold & snow on ground but sunny. came back to mothers & fixed something to eat & visited awhile, and Bill & Jean left for town with Dick Balderson. about 9:30 Ruth & Ray & kids went over to Minnies to stay & Bill came back & Gail & Lynda went with them over to Buds. Berniece & Ken, Kent, Gene, Ray Dean Dale & Jackie, Mother Ivard & I went to bed.
