the party went until from 2:30pm- 9:30pm....it was only suppose to go until 5:30 but the irish side of the family would have non of that. si, peter, kyla, alex, kat and i had bets on when it would be over. peter thought he had won at 9:15pm....but the group stood dead stop in the doorway coats on.... continued talking. i think kyla took it with 9:45pm.

So sad he didn't make it...
He got his letter from the queen and I'm sure he's got a lot of good things and love over 100 years... That's what really counts.
