We started at 2:00 this afternoon. By 3:30 the funeral service was completed.
I’m not used to 1 1/2 hour funerals. Sounds boring to me!!
But you have to understand Mary.
She was a born storyteller and an intense listener. When you were with her you knew she was concentrated on you. And she would keep your funny bone tickled!
Imagine those she gathered around her! Born storytellers and intensely interested in you!
Put them on the platform to speak and you have laughter and crying and not a moment wasted!
Did I enjoy the funeral? As Mary would have said, with two thumbs up — “You betcha!!”
I can see God, whom she loved, sitting down with Mary and sharing a laugh right now!
Her story reads like a wonderful testimony of someone who knew how to live life to the fullest. Her memory will live on and on and on — with each year’s stories addding up to the big picture.
