AJ's funeral in Canada

 December 3 Robs Dad Arturo Giovanni Tondini passed away. We made a quick trip up to Sparwood British Columbia to AJ's funeral. I was a good trip in spite of the situation. We had some quiet time with Rob and I. We got to spend time with Robs brothers. And we got to visit the cemetaries that have both of Robs grandparents buried. It was a time for reflecting on all our blessings. We have so much and have been given a great legacy. AJ has touched many lives and it was fun to talk and visit and share the memories. This headstone is in Fernie where the Tondinis are buried. Wonder if we can find it again.

 This is Robs grandpa Eberts buried in the Sparwood cemetary. He was a coal miner his whole life. The area of Canada surrounding Sparwood is beautiful. I hope we can come back once in a while and visit here again.

 After the funeral the brothers with Fred Facca a good close friend of AJs that gave the eulogy.

 Rob and I all dressed up. I love the purple tie and shirt that Rob bought in honor of his father. AJ always loved color.

 The Brothers....Gary....John....Gene.....and Baby Robby.

 Gene and Dottie. Canada was a little bit different temperature for these California kids.

 This is Corbin where AJ first lived when he was born. It is beautiful up here. We drove up to Corbin and spread some of AJs ashes where he spent so much time loving the area. AJ would have picnics here all summer long. It was so beautiful to see on this winter day. It was a perfect ending to a wonderful day. AJ will be forever remembered.

 The Brothers on the Creek. Amazing legacy that AJ has left. All wonderful men that love so much.

 Gary and Erin.

 Standing on the bridge at Corbin and sharing memories. We definately dont get to spend enough time together with the siblings.
