Rheese's Funeral

I thought I should warn you before your proceed that there are pictures of Rheese after he passed away. I hesitated before I posted them because I didn't know how it would affect some people but then I decided to include them because they are part of his story. I carefully picked which ones to include. I think he looks beautiful in them all.

This is Rheese's casket but it isn't the one we ordered. I was a little upset when I saw that it wasn't the right one but it was still a beautiful casket. Unfortunately, since the funeral was the next morning they weren't able to send us the right one. Our family after we dressed Rheese for the last time. This was such a beautiful experience. I didn't know what to expect or if I'd be able to do it but it was so wonderful to be able to take care of my little boy one last time. I know that when all my kids were little and I was always dressing them or doing their hair or cleaning them up that it became a chore. But when you know it is the last time you truely treasure every moment. I know George and I didn't want to leave. We wanted it to last as long as possible.
Rheese's beautiful casket and flowers. I chose this bouquet because it had all of the kids favorite colors in it. Purple=Cassy, Orange=Chad, Yellow=Seth, Green=Rheese, Red=Lane (Troy doesn't have one yet ; ).) Daddy saying good-bye, one last time.Mom's last kiss until we meet again in heaven.Our last family picture.

You can see that there is a little Goofy in with Rheese to keep him company : ).Dad, Mom and TroyChadSethLane
