Connie's Corner

Sad

I went to a memorial service for the husband of a friend yesterday evening. He was an Episcopalian (as I was raised) and he had invited me to his church, but sadly I never went. It brought back some old memories...kneeling pads, prayer books, different hymns, deja vu. The service was very loose, a music ensemble playing his favorites, many spoke of funny or moving experiences they had with the deceased, with some getting loud applause. A good, kind, giving man with a smile that brightened everyone's day...a poet and a painter...he will be missed.
