7 firefighters from across Washington were being honored today, 2 from Seattle. It was the final memorial after a long year of various services. Jeff would have loved this service.

| Very symbolic having Jeff's brothers standing above us watching over Melis & the kids during the service... |
 |
| With every bell, the honor guard would kneel representing a fallen ff. |

| Even with such a long, emotional day - these little ones did great. It's a complete understatement to say that Melissa has done a wonderful job this last year! |
Beautiful post, I'm glad you decided to take both kids with.
