I forgot my camera/phone this morning so this page does not have the 100+ pictures you would ordinarily find here...thanks to Janie Zody for the pictures below...but the complete audio recording of the service is here. I hope that you will listen carefully to each of them as they provide the most important part of the service, apart from the personal interactions, that you missed by not being there.
