Eulogy 8

Now close your eyes.

I want you to envision Dad walking up a grassy hill.
Put any cap on his head, a Deere cap, Cubbies cap, Terronez Reunion Cap.
Put any shirt on him, a flannel shirt, Deere shirt, college shirt, white tshirt, green plaid shirt that mom hates him to wear.
He's wearing those "khaki" pants and white tennis shoes.
He has a newspaper sticking out of his back pocket. In his left pocket he has his rosary. In his right pocket he has his newspaper clippings and change purse for the kids.

Can you see him? As approaches the top of the hill. he looks back over his shoulder and smiles, that cute little smile of his.

He says, "Ill be waiting for you under the apple tree"
