Mourning the Infurchia Way

We recently took a trip to Connecticut for Philip's grandfather's memorial service. All the family came in from all parts of the world. While I only got to meet him once, I can see why he can still bring so many together. While everyone grieves in their own way, it was amazing to see how a family came together to Celebrate his accomplishments.

The memorial was pretty emotional as you might have guessed. It was held on Feb. 14th at the church where Granpa Infurchia had wed his wife. Aunt Eileen did a fantastic job of organizing the entire event. She made sure that most of the family play a part in some way. My father in-law gave a beautiful eulogy telling funny stories of growing up and just how special a man Grandpa was. What a moving eulogy he gave! Not a dry eye in sight.

After the memorial service we all went up to Uncle Chris's home for an Infurchia feast, music, dancing and reminiscing to old family videos and photos (don't worry Nikki, I promised not to post you dancing away!)
