I am Home in dayton today, I have to prepare the funeral service for My Friend Terri..
I once said I would NEVER do either weddings or funerals when I became a minister..
I was Wrong..
For my Brother Bear and Sister Terri, I will have now done Both..
Bear and Terri's daughter Amber, I did the service for her marriage..
And now I am preparing the funeral for Terri..
This is Very hard for me.. I realize My dear friend Terri would have wanted me to do this, and the family is grateful I am doing this..
I will be the last thing I can do for Terri, I will do my best to do this with the Respect and Honor and Love due Her..
it is a labor of Love, and is Breaking My heart..
I NEVER wanted to Bury My friend, and I Know She is in Our Lords hands now.. Thanks be to God..
I am having a hard time of it..Holding Danielle the 5 year old granchild yesterday, while she cried was difficult..
I have been Helping as I can with the Children, and family..It is difficult to hold a stiff upper lip
and be strong for them...When I too are grieving also..But I gress this is the one Part of My ministry life I have dreaded. and Now I must do this..
I shall return to Coshocton tomorrow morning..
And friday I shall do the service, I pray I am able to Keep myself together during this..
Thanks to all for the support and Prayers..
God Bless each of you..
