Grandpa's Funeral A Year Before He Died

Just saw this again this morning and I chuckle everytime I see it.  You know how hard it is to remember to change the year when you write the date in January.  My grandpa died in the first week of the new year and guess what.  Yes, you guessed it.  His funeral was the year before he was born!

 

According to this, he died on January 2, 1979 and his funeral was on January 5, 1978!

 

I remember that January 5, 1979 quite well.  The weather turned really bad during the funeral and it was miles from Day and Carter Mortuary to Mt. Ebal Cemetary in Monroe County by Lake Monroe.

 

In a few weeks we will be in another year.  Remember to write, type, etc the right year!
