atU2.com has an article about Mr. Hewson's funeral

[Gina Marie]

Get your tissues out if you want to read it-there's also a pic-but there's just no way I would post it-its too private and SAD-it talks about Bono and Edge singing a song for him and Larry and Edge helping Bono carry the coffin-*extremely touching*

 

[WildHonee]

That pic is sad and it scared me. now I'm sad

I've never heard of that song 'sometimes you can't make it on your own' Is it one of theirs?

Sorry Mona-didn't mean to make you sad-like I said, there's NO WAY I could or would ever post that-don't know about that song-I bet I brought everyone down w/ that post-but I just hope he can get some comfort and peace now knowing that his Dad doesn't have to suffer anymore.

I don't want to sound rude or anything...but Larry looks really good in that pic. But it's still really sad! just....y'know...Larry...in a suit and all....*conflicting emotions*

That is the saddest picture of U2 members I have ever seen...

Time is a train
Makes the future the past
Leaves you standing in the station
Your face pressed up against the glass

Mad1-I know-the article was tough enough, but when the pic came up-that was it for me-sorry to bring you guys down- I shouldn't have.

 

[U2FReAk]

just saw it too

I saw another one at u2guatemala.com...

 

[WildHonee]

I run out of replies on things like this. I looked at the one at u2guatemala. Somebody's hand is on Bono's shoulder

I don't know who it's coming from, but it's nice.

When they carry it like that they usually put their arm under the casket and onto the shoulder of the person carrying across from them.

On a side note...Edge is beanie-less (u2guatemala.com pic)...anyone else notice that?

I guess the saying a picture is worth a thousand words is true and right now that picture makes me so feel so sad.

 

[U2SJ]

Those pics really saddened me too...
I have never seen such an adorable pic of Bono with one of his children, but too bad it was taken under these circumstances.
Poor Bono

God Bless Mr Hewson

I felt the same way, WildHonee. Eli looked so cute in those photos, Larry looked good too, but I felt weird looking at pics of a funeral. It kinda seems like an invasion of privacy. Who was taking pictures anyway?
