Audio of the Memorial Service

September 19th, 2008

This is the audio file from the service yesterday.  I have broken the service into pieces and then attached them to the outline in the program.  Underneath each image is the audio player that corresponds.  Simply press play to play and pause to stop.  Thanks to all of those that came to pay their respects and join us in remembering my father.

If allot of people view the files at the same time they can take a minute to load so try to be patient :]
