Do any of you have prayer requests??

[Catty1]

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.
