Auntie Chidia's Funeral Service

Mom, Dad, and I have been praying the Rosary each evening since I last wrote about Auntie Teng's request for a Novena for Auntie Chidia.

This FRIDAY morning (St. Andrew's day) at 9.30 AM, with help from U Sahnee and Kitt, we were able to get the video feed from the Nederlands from the crematorium. There were several people in addition to the priest who contributed to the service.
Connie Ledesma spoke about their deep friendship and U Eddie's record of the RngP Peace talks in the 1990s.
T read a letter from U S.
Maria Morales sang Ave Maria by Gounod.
Irma G gave a reading
Ged spoke for the family
the priest delivered a brief homily where he stated that he was to have a publishing meeting this afternoon, but is here today...To paraphrase him: The same day (MON?) he received news about Orquidia, he had a dream in which he was asked, "What are you going to do with your life?"
General Intercessions
Our Father
Final Blessing
Music by Beethoven, Chopin's Fantasie-Impromptu in C# minor- Opus 66,

The service was completely in English. U Eddie was truly, visibly saddened to the core and grief-stricken.

Helped M with the Mass card for the family. Mailed it, then went grocery shopping in Bloomfield for dinner--Italian sweet sausage and sweet pods.
Delish.
