"Winter storm blows across Saskatchewan"

Yeah. that was the heading here. And that was the weather in Prince Albert, Full blowing blizzard. A good day for a prairie funeral. This was the view from our living room, later on in the afternoon.

It went ok. Just the immediate family went to the graveside and stood out on that lone prairie hill. Man it was cold and blowing out there. We were given the opportunity to have the service in the little shelter nearby, but kindly rejected it, in favor of seeing him to his final resting place.

There we stood, backs to the wind, standing close together, trying to create some shelter for the stillness, the realization to settle in.

And we didn't linger long, but returned to the Legion for coffee and a light lunch and some memories.

A classic prairie funeral, for a prairie pioneer.
