Perhaps, "hasta pronto" would be a better tittle. We will miss abuelo very much. Jose, David, mom, baby Titus and I went down for the funeral. Felipe was greatly missed. It was a great experience. The funeral was great. Jose gave a wonderful talk. The next day Abuelo was given a military burial at the National Cemetery . It was awesome. I am sure abuelo felt honored by the way it was done. After that, Jose dedicated the grave and we said good bye one last time.
It is sad that now when we call abuela we will no longer ask how abuelo is doing but at the same time what good news! We will no longer ask about his health or well-being because we know he is doing better that ever. It is comforting to know that death really is an "hasta pronto", not an "adios" In the meantime. We will miss him and we are so very grateful for the love, advice, humor and example of love for the gospel that he gave us.

It looks like your Grandfather had a beautiful ceremony. I am glad that you were able to be there and be with your family. The cemetery looks really nice. I guess all of Puerto Rico is probably this pretty, right?
