Mom's Memorial Service Was Yesterday

0 Recommendations

Hello all,

I am pleased to say that Mom's memorial service at her church went very well yesterday. About 75 plus people attended and I decided last week to do three readings and welcome people and thank some people and light a chalice candle. The minister convinced me it would make the service more meaningful to others so I did it for mom. Others spoke and share memories of her and the minister and pianist did a great job.

Four of us girls who met in 6th grade were together there and that was so special to be togehter after 30 years.

Bless you all.

That sounds very meaningful. I remember from your previous posts that you are a very caring family. My sympathy to all of you.

oh, Anita,
I'm so glad everything turned out so beautifully! You did your mom proud with this.

My dad ushered at many funerals - there was one song, "On Eagles' Wings" that they play at almost every funeral service, and daddy didn't care for that song, but would come home singing it after every funeral, and then joke about hoping the eagle would run into something, stun itself, and quit coming to each funeral. For his service, the played three songs he totally adored - and, of course, we asked her to play "On Eagles' Wings" to give everyone something to sing about on the way home - we knew he'd be singing along up in heaven...

I hope all your songs bring happy memories to you as well.

many hugs

Memories. What a wonderful thing the Lord created was memories. I am so pleased the day went well and you found comfort in her service. May God continue to give you and your entire family comfort as you move forward after this phase, knowing that she is always watching over you. And believe me, she is. Hugs Jolene

Dear Doctar,

My condolences on the loss of your mom last month. Some things that are helping me are:

attending a griefshare group (griefshare.org)
preparing an area with her photos, clothes and momentos
giving myself time to grieve

Best wishes to you.

Anita
