goodbye joe

it's been an emotional week at penn state.

we've lost our beloved leader of 61 years, our joepa.

but yesterday's procession was incredibly touching and comforting

as thousands of our penn state family lined the roads to "guide joe home."

 the buses honor joe while people start to line up on curtin & allen

 the crowds wrap all the way past the library & continue 3 miles around campus

 the crowds patiently wait 2 hours in the cold

 the procession begins - we are...penn state

...and we say goodbye, as joe takes his final lap around campus.

also here's a beautiful video of the past week:

...while students sing the alma mater,
it shows the memorial at the statue,
the candlelight vigil at old main with over 10,000 people,
and the stadium which will stay lit until friday...

the two little boys at the statue are actually my friends
julie and dan's kids, liam & owen. so sweet.
