My Uncle Ivan's graveside service after a full service in the First Baptist Church of El Reno.
The church was packed. It was a true testament to a wonderful christian man who led others by simply ... following the Golden Rule. He was a deeply religious man who did NOT wear his religon on sleeve but rather wore it everday in every way. In my eyes, he was a giant of a man, shadowed only by my father, if that was possible.
It was a wonderful way to say goodbye, with friends and family present. It was the end of an era.
There are no more of this family alive. All have left us in the John K Moffat family. Now only Elinore Moffat, wife of Oscar, and Fannie Moffat, wife of Mervil, and Freda Moffat, wife of Ivan, are left of this generation in total. It was a big deal. He was a big man.
I can only hope to be half the man the Moffat men were, and I will have done good!
May God bless and keep us, and bless and comfort Aunt Freda in her time of loss. And, may God bless the USA. He knows, we need it!
