Yesterday was the time on the Liturgical calendar when we remember our loved ones who've died. What a moving service. As you may remember, my Oldie, Harry Welch died in 2011, so his picture was on the big screen in the sanctuary, along with 25 other church members who've died within the year. His laughing face made me all at once very sad and very happy.
We have a columbarium (memorial garden) at the church. My husband, Ken, is interred there. Harry and Ken were great friends. Later, Harry and Dave became great friends. Well, after that initial meeting where Harry threatened Dave's life.
If you don't take care of this woman, I have friends in Chicago!
Incidentally, Harry later learned that Dave has way more friends in Chicago than Harry did.
When Harry made his arrangement to be interred in the columbarium, he was asked where he'd like his niche to be.
On top of Ken Crossman, says Harry.
Harry had a great sense of humor, was very generous and very bossy. And he usually got his way.
