Experienced a God moment today… a former resident of this area passed away recently. She was an only child, been in a nursing home for several decades, unmarried and childless, under guardianship. No one could find any relatives. Our new pastor was asked to do a graveside service for her today and was concerned there would be no mourners there, the guardian was away and couldn’t come. He asked our congregation on Sunday if anyone would be willing to attend? Word spread and about 15 people showed up including me. In the process, one of my friends recalled going to high school with her, found her senior portrait in the yearbook and that led to finding some distant relations and more information about this dear woman. It was a brief but lovely service with flowers and a bagpiper. I’d like to think she was pleased. No one should die and be buried so alone. (Cheryl Minekime)
