Once again, we are indebted to friends and to our larger church family for brightening a moment of grief, for lightening the burden of the hour. Thank you Betty and Roger and Carol and Jessica and Kevin and Bob and anyone else who helped to make the funeral happen. Thank you Dianne and Don for your usual, generous hospitality. Thanks to all who came to honor our brother’s memory.
Brother Richard checked out of this life before we arrived for an official farewell. At our request, the Oxborrow family stepped in and reserved the Creston Road chapel, made arrangements for food and music, printed the program, and helped spread the word of Richard’s passing. It greatly lightened the rest of the burden. Thank you, wonderful friends.
We had a nice gathering of family, mixed with friends who are almost family that helped feed awareness that ultimately we are all family.
