Plans formulated

It already seems so long ago and yet it was only yesterday that I was sitting and taking notes for the Obituary, typing it for her to check over and then a few hours later he was gone!  

There will be lots of people from out of town.  Whites will stay with us and we are happy about that.

Visitation Wednesday from 4-8pm

Funeral Thursday 10am

All of this will be a spiritual experience and move healing and acceptance ahead.  I look forward to being with a group of people that knew and loved him and continue that feeling with Carol.  Funerals are powerful in comforting sorrowing hearts.

 Each Life That Touches Ours for Good
Hymn #293

1. Each life that touches ours for good
Reflects thine own great mercy, Lord;
Thou sendest blessings from above
Thru words and deeds of those who love.

2. What greater gift dost thou bestow,
What greater goodness can we know
Than Christlike friends, whose gentle ways
Strengthen our faith, enrich our days.

3. When such a friend from us departs,
We hold forever in our hearts
A sweet and hallowed memory,
Bringing us nearer, Lord, to thee.

4. For worthy friends whose lives proclaim
Devotion to the Savior’s name,
Who bless our days with peace and love,
We praise thy goodness, Lord, above.
