Yesterday I conducted a memorial service for Cindy's dad. I have no idea how many people attended, but Ed touched many lives. He never met a stranger and could quickly put people at ease in any situation and circumstance.
I was privileged to meet many people that Dad's life had touched.
Just a few random thoughts about memorial services. The funeral home suggested a two hour visitation period prior to the service. For two hours people did exactly that- visit. One of Ed and Vicki's nieces is a graphic artist and she pulled together as awesome video display of pictures and music. The hardest part of the service for me was looking through those pictures. I enjoyed working with the folks from the funeral home- one of the few remaining family owned and operated funeral homes in the Kansas City, MO area. Having worked with some of the corporately owned homes and family owned homes in Oregon and Washington, the family owned homes are much easier and much more comfortable.
My reading schedule and writing plans have been thrown off kilter- again. The next three weeks will be filled with travel and meetings. Maybe in April I can finally get around to the plans of posting my notes and observations regarding Calvinism.
