Dear Family,
The stone has been placed on the grave site.

The temperature was a whopping 8 degrees above zero as I made it down this morning.  The stone is more beautiful than the picture would have you to believe.  The bill has been paid in full.  The Christmas arrangement has been left and will be augmented tomorrow morning by battery operated LED Christmas Lights.  I stopped in at Walgreens and found these little items that should burn for at least three days. So Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and the 26th should be covered.  It wont be the air traffic hazard that pop had in JAX but its the spirit……
I wanted to share with each of you the golden sunrise this morning, Lillards Ford Road Water Crossing and the new stone.  Dad always said that Jesus was the reason for the season.  So I share with you the beauty of his home and final resting place…
Love you all

Manuel Arrington
