I just got done typing up my dad's eulogy. I wrote it and am reading it tomorrow at the funeral. I'm a little scared that I won't get through it gracefully, but I think I owe it to my dad to read it. I will post it on here after tomorrow.
The funeral is Friday, tomorrow, and is going to be at Resthaven Park located at 43rd Street and Southern in Phoenix. Visitation is from 10 am until 11 am and the service will start at 11. It is going to be a simple service inside the chapel there, and then we will go out to the gravesite. All are welcome to come if you can. My mom thinks that only a few people will come, but I think she is mistaken. It will be a closed casket. Peggy has arranged for a harpist to come and play. That should be nice.
The obituary was in the Arizona Republic yesterday Sept. 6. Here is a link to it:

You will need to change the date to Sept. 6. Just scroll down to Megale.
There is a webpage you can go to that the mortuary set up for us.
It is www.mem.com
Type in "Megale" for the last name, and Robert Megale will come up, then just click on his name or picture. It has a biography and a movie. The movie is a collection of pictures that Peggy and I picked out the other night. They make me cry. Especially the one when I am about 4, and he is holding me in the yard.
Royce and the kids are coming down tonight, should be here in a few hours. It will be good to see them, I haven't seen them for like 4 days. I miss them.
I just want tomorrow to be over.

Just read from the heart. It's ok if you cry. And ok if you don't. The funeral is for the family and it's usually the hardest part. I am glad you will have the kids there. My mom sends her love as do I (of course).
Thinkin of you.
I sent you something, I hope you get it.
I was thinking of you and your family today. I hope you found the courage somewhere deep within your soul to honor your dad with all of your might.
I wish peace on your family and your heart.
Grieving takes place in many different ways. Sometimes we cry openly, other times we feel numb and can't seem to process the emotional overload. Just breathe and let it be what it is.
I enjoyed reading about your Dad. Again, I'm sorry for your loss.
It will be a terrible day for me when my Dad dies- even though we were never really close...
Baby you read perfectly, truly from the heart. And that is the ONLY thing that matters.
I love you.
