Last Resting Place

Last Resting Place​

I'm going to get you guys tired of me yet, but since I can still squeeze out one more post, I'll show you where I'm headed next, before I go:

Below is a Picture of My & My Brother Jim's family, from back in 2021, when they took Jim's ashes up to Saw Creek for eternal rest. Saw Creek was one of our favorite Trout Streams & Deer Hunting areas.
Years ago, Jim & I put our parent's ashes in "Red Rock Run", which is just a bit down stream of Saw Creek.
Then in July of 2021, this gang "Below" took Jim's ashes up. I was not able to make that trip.
Bear Jr held everyone's hand, one by one, so nobody would fall in the Creek, while they each poured part of the ashes into one of our favorite Trout Hot-Spots.

Now they all will be doing the same thing with my ashes. Then this journey will be over.

Until we Meet,
Bear

If you look closely you can see a part of Saw Creek behind My Sister and her husband George, on the far right & behind the left end.

An absolutely beautiful place to rest John! God be with you my friend.

No John I am not. And this was nice for your brother and your parents.
To have the whole family together. I am sorry but getting a little chocked up.
Bear you will be with family forever, in their hearts and memories.

God be with you and yours in this time for family

Beautiful spot Bear, one day I’ll pack up the fly rod and head out to see you. Take care my friend.

You are a true legend Bear. Thank you for everything you have done for everyone. I have no words or actions that could show my respect for you sir. Thank you.

A little glimpse of Heaven on Earth, Bear, and meaningful. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like Heaven on Earth. I think you'll be just fine there. Hard to type with tears so I'll just say thank you once again for all you have given. Peace be with you...

So inspiring! Its sad, yet so great to see such a beautiful family come together and salute lost family members in such an honoring way as a tradition! I truly feel that is the way to go and wish I had half as beautiful of a place to do so!

 

[Nodak21]

Bear, your dried venison is so perfect. You have helped me a lot. You are a gem and one day we will meet.. I’m sure of it

 

[bauchjw]

Never tired of your posts Bear, please keep at it as your strength allows. Hard to beat that resting place, true peace and the family chain is amazing. Thank you for everything. God be with you.

You are fortunate to be able to find such a peaceful piece of God's creation for your final resting place.
