Saying goodbye to my Dad John R Mullen

With this posting I wanted to leave this with anyone who might see it or have any comments for this Blog. My dad John had many talents, good times and we had bad times. The greatest gift was the gift of forgiving, my dad and I had a past of many good memories and that is what I will always remember. The one thing I wish I could of said to my dad would of been I love you Dad, so I leave my lasted words for him on my Blog. Your loving daughter Jolene Eva Mullen. Dad many you be patient with your self and remember you didn't leave this earth with any regrets you had your family back it took some time, but time did heal all. See you later.

My sister's Michelle stayed up most of the night on Thursday making sure all the pictures were perfect and they were. My oldest sister Jeslin put the poem together was nice.

Here are the biker escorts for my dad caravan to the cemetery, these guys were really cool they had American flags on the vest and the had leather chops not sure what the right name for them are but they were cool my dad would of been very pleased.

He was respected today with going past the line of man and women recognising a comrade.

His son and son in-law carried him.

Sorry everyone some of the pictures are not in the right order but I'm sure you get the idea behind them.

Going into the building.

They said a pray before we took off to the cemetery.

Family Thanking everyone for coming out and paying there respects.

They took there until my dad was totally in the car.

One of the hardest moments for me to keep a dry face was when all three brothers embraced after everything was over.

Nice story to go with this spot to late for me to go into @ this time.
But I was say this I think it's a fruit tree maybe a plum tree that is right next to him like the plum tree in our family old home in Redding Ca. I miss that home.

Goodbye for now.

After the guns the man picked up the shells and gave some to my mom for safe keeping and the rest to the grand children to remeber.
