May was a sad month

We traveled to Iowa twice this month within a week and a half for two funerals.  The first was for a"Celebration of Life" held on May 13th for our Brother in Law, Chuck Malm in Breda, Iowa.  Then on the 22nd of May, Pat's Mother, Mary Jo Fitzgerald passed away in LeMars, IA. Following are pictures from the Tuesday night Irish wake and the funeral on Wednesday.
