In order to accommodate everyone and have parking available, the funeral for Christian was held in Pilsen, Ks. at the Church of St. John of Nepomucene. I was a half hour early and the parking lot was already full. I did not get a very good picture of the outside, it was cold and windy and I thought it probably looked bad to be snapping pictures. It is a beautiful facility. Very ornate and colorful inside. Many people associated with our school were there. Also the Marion Fire Department (dad was a volunteer firefighter) and the Fire-Rescue crew (oldest brother is an EMT) and a group of ATT employees (Dad's official employer) and most of the staff of St. Mary's Catholic School of Newton, Ks. where Mom works. A lot of respect for the family. It was good to see such caring. https://hfpmc.org/churches/st-john-nepomucene-pilsen This is a link to see an image of the inside.

It looks very similar to our St John’s church here. I am glad the family had such a nice turnout.
