Thanks, you two. I needed that. Pray for my folks this week, as my Mom has several tests related to memory loss. Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m. in the ‘consultation’ with the family.

I liked the script and the music, but these 61-year-old-ears just couldn’t understand the electronic voice quoting the scripture. Peace!

That is bizarrely moving.

I’m in tears.
How beautiful, real, insightful, creative, moving, hopeful!
Miss you. How blessed the Normans will be to be rejoined with you and your God-glorifying talents!
Thanks for sharing and may God continue to comfort you.

Agree w/ Mr. Sir.
Also agree w/ Jane Avery (although I’m not 61) - the electronic voice was fuzzy. But the complete piece was moving nonetheless - it elicited tears from my wife (BEFORE we went back & read the text.)
Electronic voice sounds very Steve-Scott-ish, by the way.
Thank you.

Wow. Thanks.
Some years ago, I went to vist an aunt in a nursing home. She was very pleasant but didn’t really know who I was. “Patrick’s daughter,” I told her. That was my father, her sister. She seemed to get that. Then she said her sister Mary dropped by the other day - Mary had died some years before. But here’s the thing - my aunt seemed to realize that. She said, “Mary dropped by,” then added in wonderment, “I didn’t know you could do that…” Not too long after that, my aunt died.
