An Official LifeGuard send off!!

Flew into Los Angeles to be with my Aunt Gail for
Uncle Bob's Memorial which was on Dec 5th.

My Uncle Bob was a La County LifeGuard for 30 years.

The weather was PERFECT, about 65*, the water was

smooth and the seals were showing off for us!!

Tony of corse did an awesome job sharing God's word

with the family who traveled from North California,

Oregon, North Carolina, Boston and Texas.

This picture really got to me....the first time we went

out to California was the summer of 1981, where Uncle

Bob introduced the ocean and the beach to us....Life is

a journey, and to remember how my sons played in the water

and played with the sand crabs and now listening to one

of them share memories, and recognize that our GOD loves

us so much and we need to reflect that our life here is fleeting!

When we circled around the beautiful Lighthouse, it reminded

of how our LORD is our LIGHT, yeah it was pretty emotional!!

After the Boat ceremony we went to the Elks Lodge for lunch

where Tony took the time to set up the table to show off some

of Bobs plaques, medals and pictures!!

My mother Dawne, Gail and Tony as we are leaving the Elks!

My mother and Gail are sisters!!

Gail kept her lei wheras everyone else tossed theirs in the

ocean to say 'goodbye'....
