Too seldom extended families gather except for weddings and funerals. Yesterday members of the Bueling family gathered to say goodbye to two of their members. Pictured is the priest presiding over the graveside of Jane Bueling, wife of Steve. Jane chose to have her ashes buried here, and on this day it could not have been a more beautiful day with mild temperatures, a slight southerly breeze, and dozens of birds singing in the tree tops. Following this simple ceremony, we traveled to the Sheyenne River with the ashes of another of our family, Bruce, who wished to have his ashes scattered in the Sheyenne River at a spot southeast of Sheldon where river flows fast and high and wildlife abound.
