I am sorry to hear about your loss. You did great with your tribute to him. Your box is beautiful and will give all those involved in the service a nice lasting memory. Many of our parents are getting up there in years and can share your grief. Thanks for sharing on this forum.

I'm very sorry to hear about you Dad.

You and your Mom should both gain some comfort knowing that he will be resting in a box that you built with love. I am sure your Dad is proud of you.

Sincerely,

>Ernie,

I lost my father two years ago and afterwards I thought a nice tribute would be to build a flag box for the flag my mother was presented by the USA. I built it of old mahogany and did a lot of hand tool work on it. I enclosed the flag and several medals and other momentos of his life.

Building the box was a good hand tool exercise but it was also a good way to grieve my loss as well. Closing the back of the flag box for the last time was as joyous as it was sad. An ending of one part of my life and the beginning of another. I hope you find the same peace I did.

I have been so busy I had no idea your Father passed away. I send you my deepest consdolences.

The box is absolutely stunning. I am sure your mother will be very proud with your choices and I am sure your Father is looking down from above right now admiring you as a wonderful son.

Take Care of Yourself,
