COLUMBUS, Ohio -- An Ohio State fan has received a Buckeyes-themed send-off, filling in as the 'I' of the O-H-I-O cheer from his open casket.
Juli Miracle of Newark tells The Columbus Dispatch she staged the photo for her 80-year-old father, Roy Miracle, before his funeral because he was fun loving and revered Ohio State.
"I didn't do it for anybody but Dad and I," she said. "To me, it was the best honor and tribute to do for him and OSU."
She submitted the photo to an Ohio State website for O-H-I-O shots, noting ""Now Dad
is the permanent 'I.'"
Miracle died July 1. The end of his funeral service was marked by an "O-H-I-O" cheer
from the congregation.
