dads funeral burial

There was a graveside service only.

The hearse drove down from Toowoomba. 

As well as a clergyman there were people from the public service, mum, Frank & Lewiz, Uncles Bob & Ken, Uncle Lewis, cousin Rod and Mary, cousin Andrew & Gran (i think).

The clergyman read appropriate prayers, did the last look thing etc. 

A bright warm sunny day. Lewis wore dad's RAAF tie. The wake was at Rod and Mary's place. 

The whole thing was delayed by a strike by grave diggers. Grandpa is said to have threatened to have Deerings get the job done. 

After the formalities the Millers drove Frank to BGS. 

Mum & Lewis drove to Sydney with Bob & Ken. Lewis ate half a chicken at a golden fleece on the way. Mum was very upset on arrival in Sydney. Nana & Grandpa actually rushed out to greet them. Biggins & Henry (who were staying at PH) were pissed that they weren't brought up for it.
