We are back now,,, FRIDAY: We made it to Shreveport, LA and taking a short break for dinner before driving all the way in to NM, when the call came. Sauntiago (Saunty) passed away peacefully in his bed at home around 4:30 MST. Rose took it real hard. We stayed overnight and drove in the next day. There were over 400 people at the "Rosary" service Monday night and 500+ at the actual funeral service Tuesday morning. The Base Commander & Wing Commander from Cannon AFB and the Chief Msgt of the Air Force were there for the full military burial ceremony. Rose is making a post for more info.. Thanks everyone for your prayers.
