    I am sorry to be selfish...I would like a prayer or two. There's been changes at my job, I am adjusting to that...and have recently been requested to play funerals by people I know in my church (I play piano, write and sing), and that is fine.

    This Saturday I play the whole service...for a 10-month-old baby, Larissa. Pray that I remember that it is about the family and community, not about me, and that I am a messenger, even if a vital one.

    I don't want to fall apart when I am most needed.

    (Plus...on Sunday, my sister would have been 49, she died of MS last year).

    Thank you.

    That's a very hard job.Doing Funerals.
    I remeber at my little brother's memorial the girl who sang for it was my client(I use to cut hair for 27 years)and I didn't know that she was going to be there.
    It surprised me but her voice REALLY surprised me.She sounded like an Angel and the tears kept flowing.I almost wish she'd stop.lol (I'm kidding...I Loved her being there and her voice accually helped and I think back on it a lot and smile)
    Her voice was/is just the most beautiful voice I ever heard.
    we were both surprised by this meeting as we only knew each other at the salon.
    Good Luck at your job.
    And I hope you're getting better with time after your sister's passing.It's very hard to lose a family member.Especially one that your close with.
    Prayers to you,and I know you'll do great this Saturday.

    Blessing, good wishes, for you Catty and for Larissa's family. I am sure your efforts will help to make the funeral a loving and healing occasion.

    Thank you all for your prayers...I got back from Larissa's service a couple of hours ago.

    If such a sad occasion can go smoothly and well and lovingly, this one did.

    Children were welcome to come - and their presence added innocence and even a sense of fun...who could not smile at one little boy, staring up at the pulpit where the two priests spoke, with wide eyes and mouth open?

    Larissa's mother is from Colombia - and Jairo, a Protestant pastor from Colombia shared the service with the Anglican priest, Greg.

    Jairo's wife, Diana and daughter Andrea sang a GORGEOUS version of the Lord's prayer, in Spanish and in harmony. Another singer, Joyce, also a professional in the past, sang - and I did the song I had written for Larissa. All worked out well - rich in language, music and love and all things beautiful.

    The photos of Larissa were just stunning - so much presence in one so little! She was just BEAUTIFUL.

    Now Tim and Marrgie and Danica move on...Danica is only 2, and will be a source of joy for her parents, I know. Both their families are far away, and their congregation is going to adopt them, I know. I am blessed to belong to such a wonderful group.

    Thanks again, everyone.

    hugs

    Thinking about you today, Saturday, Catty1. Your music will bring much needed comfort to all who knew Larissa.

    My friends mom fell off her horse yesteday doing jumping again. A year or two ago she fell off from jumping and broke her rib/ribs and i think some other bones.This time she broke her collarbone, which my friend said it was nothing compared to last time. But of course it something to still have a little worries for, as she broke something and my friend was really upset. So pray for a fast recovery for her.

    Dear God, could you please spare an extra guardian angel for Robilee? She needs an angel on each side of her right now. Thank you, God.
