Carol,
Good job with the video..I loved the earthy parts...all the growing things. It anchored the video around his lifetime love of growing and gardening.
You had to put so much together so fast...great job! It's great to have this on- line for everybody that didn't get to pay respects in person.
Take care of yourself . Talk to you later.
