A long-time member of our church died this past week. She had been involved in many things: teaching Sunday School class for various ages of children; being a Committee Chair for several committees; always willing to help with Sunday breakfast, handing out name tags and bulletins, and welcoming people as they arrive; and helping with funeral dinners.
When someone you know passes away, you have a response based upon the relationship you had with that person. Think about someone you were very close to that has passed away. Remember the feelings you experienced upon their death. Now think about the memories of the person, the things you did together.
My belief is if you remember both, you can receive many heartfelt messages. Some memories will come forth that you had forgotten. What a blessing to remember those, because then you remember the person’s life and pass on heartfelt messages to other friends.
