Charles Hendon Jaudon's Celebration of Life service was conducted by Pastor Rod Lyon this afternoon at the Seward United Methodist Church. It was a beautiful service and Rod does such an outstanding way of relating the gospel to our daily lives. It is apparent that he was truly "called" into the ministry. Like his Uncle Leo, there is something about a farmer hearing the call to the ministry, that makes them special. The Graveside and Inurnment Service included Military Honors in the Greenwood Cemetery adjacent to the Church. At the conclusion of the Church service, son Chuck led the walking procession to the site with a golf cart. It even had a set of golf club strapped on. I understand that both Charley and Ruth's ashes were inturned together. Lunch followed with social time.
It was a coincidence that today is Elaine and my 69th wedding anniversary. We have a record of how we celebrated each of them that range from a special dinner in Rome to having lunch together in the USDA Cafeteria in D.C. This Celebration of Charley and Ruth's Lives will be one of the highlights.
I had contact with all four of our children today for congratulations but also to make plans for the 3 boys and Laura to come visit for my birthday on the 25th. It has been a busy day for daughter Carolyn who was up to visit this morning and took Ben to Bryan Hospital in Lincoln for kidney stone surgery this afternoon.
