Funeral, family and fun

My aunt’s funeral was a celebration.  Imagine 1/2 hour of tributes that led back to Jesus.  From the comments on scripture, to a eulogy of love, to a dance of delight, to a meditation of God’s mercy.  That is the type of funeral I want to have.

Etta was her own person.  She believed that Jesus should be the main person.  And now she walks and talks with him. 

From the funeral Cynthia and I headed down to a family celebration in Swift Current, 2 1/2 hours away.  There we ate some of the most delicious, delightful and different foods.  Finished off with cheesecakes – a real chore to consume – NOT!

Two of my sisters were present.  That is the nuclear family that was present.  My sister Nadia, also had three of her children there, along with Wayne, whom she is courting.  My sister Bren  came with Shawn. 

The room was full.

The day was full.

And now we begin a new year that will be full!

    It was great to see you and to meet Cynthia. The meal was wonderful because of the love and laughter shared around the table… and of course, the food was great. Thanks for being there!

    It is always a treasure of a day when one can connect with family in a pleasant setting and just enjoy each other…(and good food.) So glad you had a good time Ron. Wishing you all the best in the New Year. Regards.
