Mom's funeral went smoothly and the Rev. David Wright who gave the service both at the Crematorium and St.John's did so respectfully and appropriately. It was nice to see that a fair number of the church congregation turned out as Mom and Dad had been a faithful part of the congregation for many many years. I knew a lot of the faces from when I went to church as a kid and sat in the cold and decaying confines of the church.
Due to assorted lottery grants the church building has never looked so good. The isle which was always cold and chipped tiles is now carpeted and the lights which used to flicker on and off in winter now burn brightly in guilded chandeliers. Sadly though as the building has been repaired the congregation has aged and (like Mom) sadly departed this world.
