Riders met, were briefed, and then set up the flag line.   The line was manned earlier than planned due to many arriving guests.

Several riders knew and worked with Jerry and knew many of the guests, many we had not seen in a long time.  There was a lot of visiting going on.  When the funeral director seated the family, he placed the preacher, and then had the Ride Captain enter to present the PGR plaque.  It had been prearranged that the riders who knew Jerry would all be present at the presentation, somehow, one rider was misplaced but did see the presentation.

Mrs. Brien stated that when she came over the hill and saw the flags and riders she started to cry.  She was so happy to see us and that Jerry would have loved it.

When the service began the riders furled the flags and loaded them in the truck.  The Assistant Deputy State Captain provided the closing to the mission.
