Great Funeral

We had the best funeral I have ever been to, today. It was so great! Great scriptures and great music. We sang and sang and sang! My friend who died, loved God and music. We read all her favorite scripture passages and sang about 9 hymns. The choir sang the Halleluia Chorus along with two other anthems. Her granddaughter sang a beautiful solo! Three people shared memories. Three clergy led the worship. Over 250 people came. We had a great time! And we managed it all in 1 1/2hrs. Then we had a large reception for all. After spending more time planning this service than all the Holy Week services, it was a joy to be a part of it. It was a fitting tribute to our friend.
