We would like to take a moment to honor those who have sacrificed their lives for our country, as well as those who have served, and those who continue to served our nation. Thanks are not enough.
As some of you may know, we are mourning the passing of a beloved member of our family, Amril "Rudy" Radford. Loving husband to Joan, father and father-in-law of Dianna & Jim, grandfather of Fielding and great-grandfather to his name-sake Amril James. We are are very proud that he will among the first veterans to be interred at the new Eastern Washington State Veterans Cemetery in Medical Lake. This long-awaited veterans cemetery was appropriately dedicated this Memorial Day and interments will begin on June 7th. We are blessed that he will have the opportunity to be honored by his country for his service at his burial on June 10th, 2010 at 1 pm.
Thank you so much for your condolences and prayers; they mean so much. We miss our "Poppy" dearly.
