[QUOTE="DM-Rocco, post: 4096090, member: 14451"] Okay, The viewing is still going on. For those interested, it is a closed casket, kind of a lavendar. There are lots of flowers from people all over the world. I took a few pictures, I will up load them in a bit. Morrus, that banner is completely awesome. For those of you not in the know, Morrus had a banner made with just about everyones screen name from ENWorld on it in tribute to Gary. That was just nuts. You should have told me, I could have printed that for free and brought it down with me. Oh well, it is still a very touching tribute. Kudos to you on that. I guess there is a GaryCON going on today at 4:00pm. I didn't know about this coming down. I will stay for some of that, but it is a long ride back and I will most likely not stay for a lot of it. However, this will be my first official CON. I have never been to one, so I might stay for the whole thing. Thanks to everyone who wanted to show up as an elf but didn't. So far, everyone, even the gamers, showed up in respectful garb. The whole family was there, with the exception of Ernie, they said it was still too sad for him. I'll post some pictures soon and maybe write more. For someone who changed my life so much, I am surprisingly not as sad as I thought I would be. Sure I miss him and his work, but I think I am just learing to morn in a healthier way as I get older. More of a good closure than a sense of loss. Still, I'll miss a young man. :( [/QUOTE]
