Today, I accompanied Ethelyn to church. We were supposed to talk with Pastor Gary Brown about the committal services we are holding during our breakfast buffet this Saturday at 10 am at Papa Dale’s in Elmira. Unfortunately, he was very sick – even running a fever – but was able to deliver a shortened sermon. It was short, but it was good. The basic point was the Jesus Is Lord. He is the potter and we are the clay.
We will be getting together later this week to talk about the three people who will be buried this coming Saturday and Monday: Mark (died 12/4/2002) and Mom (died 3/7/2010), who will be laid to rest on Saturday, and my cousin Alger (died 3/26/2010) who will be laid to rest on Monday.
I’m still working on the photo slide shows for Mom and Alger. Mark’s was done when he passed. We had a wonderful memorial service for him in Brandon with family and friends celebrating his life.
We will be celebrating the lives of our dear family members. Death is especially tough on those left behind, but we know our loved ones are in a better place, resting in the arms of our wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We will meet them again either at the resurrection or when we pass on too. Until then, I am “looking for that blessed hope.”
This afternoon, we went to visit my cousin Bobby Harrison and his wife Marion. We had a great time catching up with one another. They live about 1/2 hour away from Ethelyn’s and the ride over and back was great – forest and homes with lovely lawns. The roads, as most of them are in New York State, were extremely rough, but I guess that’s one of the prices you pay for living here – that and the high taxes and fees. They sure aren’t spending their tax money on roads.
Well, I guess that’s all of the news.
Until next time…
