About the funeral

[Guest guest]

It has been a very busy ,emotional week and a half since were first

told of the death of my childrens' friend, Hospitalman Daniel S. Noble

in Iraq.

Lots of tears, memories sorrow and laughter too . We've been to

" viewing service " Funeral, Military Honors, open house and Mara went

to a candlelight vigil and tree planting /posthumous black belt ceremony

last night .

I carried a pouch of stones jet ,apache tear, Mangano Calcite ,Golden

topaz ,blue flourite, moonstone , rose quartz ,aquamarine and they

seemed to help greatly to pull us together and deal with our own grief

enough to support the family and the many friends , The girls were

magnificent and we all had moments where we just intuitively knew where

to be and what to say. Nicole made it her mission to be there for

Daniels Sister as well as for Mara.

Very emotional wrenching experience, Daniel was a great person and

much loved. His Father is a Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff and many of

the force had known him most of his life so there was large group of

deputies as well as Navy and Marines at both services Great big Sheriff

Captains and Marines Sobbing their Hearts out .

Daniel was the person who most helped Mara learn that she could

operate and interact in the world and that she was able deal with her

own Dragons ( Mara is Hearing and speech impaired and dyslexic and

until she met Daniel was very shy of " abled " people) and He was a

brother to Nicole, at 6 foot 8 he was not intimidated by any thing ,

He often made him self smaller and matched other eye level and had a

great and mischievous sense of humor.

I do not like war this one in particular , I am glad that we are

honoring our soldiers this time instead of abandoning them

This was only the second funeral my husband has attended since he

left the Army (1971). When He was in the army He attended hundreds of

military services at the San Francisco National cemetery, most were

attended only by the military escort and the military chaplain often

there was no relative willing to accept the flag. . That was not the

case this time. After the regular service we left the Skyrose Chapel

and ended up only about a block or two back in the funeral procession

from the chapel to the Grave site military honors location. As we

approached the gate we could see the beginning of the procession with

police escorts. The Transport with Daniels' remains, limos with

family, the military and the over 30 Patriot Riders motorcycle honor

guard as they turned left out of the memorial park main gate

onto the street. We looked behind us back up the curving

road climbing over a mile back to the chapel and could see that there

were still many cars that had not yet left the parking area and

probably more that were not visible behind the curve of the hill .

Were were so moved by the respect and honor shown to Daniel by all

those people. He Chose to Go to Iraq as a Medical Corpsman because he

wanted to help others . The family has said that Donations can be

made to a fund to build a memorial for Fallen Corpsmen at Camp

Pendleton , Daniel was the 30th Corpsman to have been killed in action

in Iraq.

If you feel like it you can send a donation for this and put " Noble

Fund " in the left corner area of the check
