R.I.P. Fire Chief Brad Malm

Chief Brad Malm was laid to rest on Saturday, March 7th. I don't think words or pictures could ever describe how awesome this funeral was. To see how all the area fireman, and the community came together, for this was amazing. There is such a brother hood and camaraderie that I am so blessed that D is apart of. The service was beautiful, I don't think there was a dry eye in the house. D and the Honor Guard did a fabulous job with everything. The service started with a huge procession that went all through town and ended at the lake with bag pipes playing Amazing Grace, a trumpet playing taps and even a helicopter fly by. All I can say is they better find a miracle pill for D to live forever, because no matter how beautiful of a service it was, there is no way I will be able to go through it for D-way too hard. Here are some pictures from the funeral.Driving into the lake you had to pass under the fire truck laddersThe procession entering the lakeThis is the truck that carried the casket through townThe Honor Guard removing the casket from the fire truck
