My Visitation at City Hall for Jack Layton

[Bleemer]

Went to pay my respects on Friday...just thought I'd share these moments especially for those far away and who couldn't be there.

Thanks for posting this. I had written something Wednesday evening before all the rain, but I assume it's washed away :( It was amazing to see the amount of people there writing, even on Wednesday.

RIP Jack.

Yeah the washed-out squares were all re-written, and it was very solemn inside by the casket, they have a changing of the guards ceremony every few hours.

Final visitation this morning then the funeral.
