Hi Brokenarrow
So sorry for your loss. There is a tradition in my family to drink from a quaich (pronounced kway - and then the che portion from the word quiche - the egg dish). Its a Scotts friendship bowl, everyone in the family gets one at some point in their lives (usually their wedding). When presented with it you have to fill it with scotch (whisky that is) and as you sip from it you remember those who you love and hold dear. Before you drink you have to publicly announce "I drink from the quaich to friends and family, present and absent", you then sip, remember who you want to remember and then the quaich is passed on to the next person who sips and remembers and so on until the everyone has sipped and the whisky is all drunk. I guess the idea is that in sharing the scotch all get to share in the comraderie of family and friends. It's just a silver bowl really but it has a certain mistique and its a big deal to finally get given one of your own. I'll have a sip from the quaich for you tonight, remembering your family and our friends here on TP.
Cheers Ann Brush

I know what you mean about the friends.
You can always tell who your true friends are when some thing like this happens. For this reason I am VERY careful who I call a friend and who I call an acquaintance.
Though we have never met in person I am proud to consider you as one of my friends, as I am sure many others here feel the same way.
Again any thing you need we are always here for you now and forever.

Brokenarrow,
I just saw your post, the prayers of my family go out to yours. Reading your note brought back the deep pain of love for those that I have lost over the years, grandparents, uncles and aunts.
God Bless you and yours.
Dennis

What a difference 6 hours made! We had the wake and the ceremony tonight. Just beautiful! All went well, better than well. The home done a great job on dad. We had made 8 poster boards with many pictures of his life. My wife gets alot of credit for putting it together. All his photos of fox,coyote,deer scenery and even a fake cut out moose that had shadows on it hitting it just right that I can tell you from an outdoorsman that it was hard to tell if it was real or not (It is on hy27 in north west wi. just south of cornel) He took this picture because I told him about it (the cut out) on our last trip north together, he saw it and told me I had to stop for him to take a picture. His golf trophys and all his police memorys along with the Korean war stuff.
We had the police honor guards all night long saluting each other as they would change posts at his casket, there was a bagg piper and a 21 gun salute.
The PLAV also had a good bye. I could go on and on but I know this is a tractoring forum. All I can say is that now I know what some people mean when they say they have closure. It went SO well that I am in a totally different frame of mind. Still sad but I feel relief like you would not believe. Of course the flag being given to me broke me (again) But all in all I am at peace or as close to it as one could expect at this point.
Just wanted to thank all my friends here for everything!! you all helped tremendously in getting me through this. Want to thank Tractor point also it means so much to have a place to go and vent or have people listen and respond with help. There is a spot in my heart for all of you. Thanks so very much!
