Hi,

I wanted to share this with those friends who were unable to attend dad's funeral in New Orleans today. It was a sunny and beautiful day. We sent dad off with full military honors, military pall bearers, taps and a 21 gun salute, with a jazz band processional.

It was a wonderful day and service. I will miss him very much.

The website with his obituary is http://www.lakelawnmetairie.com/obituaries/tribute.html?url=http://stei-23818.tributes.com/show/Harry-Collins-91624617 Please feel free to post a message - it will mean alot to the family.

I am also including a link to the memorial video we did for dad. We have uploaded the video on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqRDM8Yu_oo

He did have a wonderful life and was loved by so many people.



Love,
Cindy

    sounds like a great send off
    Dear Cindy,
    Your Dad got a beautiful homecoming, you sound like it was a great comfort to your family and yourself to honor him and have him recognized as the wonderful man he was!!! Even though you all will miss him so much, to have the memories of all the people who knew and loved him and honored him at his service will be a comfort to you all. Prayers continue as you all heal and have the good memories outweigh the bad, hugs from afar,
