Another Saint Called Home

Our church said goodbye to yet another saint today.

C was a wife, mother, and friend who was a vibrant member of our church. Although she couldn't sing terribly well, she was an accomplished bell player. She once chaired our trustees committee, served as an executive director for our community theater. C had a knack for convincing people they needed to do whatever it was she needed them to do. And she was so nice, described frequently as a cheerleader.

It was a difficult service to get through - there was so much love in the Sanctuary. The choir sang Daniel Gawtrop's Sing Me To Heaven and Franz Biebl's Ave Maria. Many former members of our church were there today - some even thought they might be back. Just what C would have wanted.
