My parents just got back. With tears in her eyes, my mom said that it was the most beautiful service she's ever seen. She said that the town of Raeford, as they were required to do, issued a permit to the WBC to protest. However, and here's the happy part of the story, it was only good for one hour and that hour was strictly from 8-9 this morning. The funeral didn't start until 10:15 am. So, yay! They didn't get to disturb the funeral at all. My mom said that over 1,000 bikes were there and probably 4,000 people. It was so crowded and so love-filled. My parents were very moved and I was moved to hear it from them first hand. ;-;
