Fran, The Minister
One of Fran's ministries in her parish is to prepare the arrangements for funerals. We have talked about this beautiful ministry, and I have expressed my admiration that she serves her spiritual community in this manner. Fran told me that she loves doing this work. She's written a must-read post about one of the funerals. I won't write more about her story, except to say that you won't regret it, if you take the time to read it.

Oh Mimi, here I am complaining in an email to you and then this here... I am honored and humbled that you would link to me.
ReplyDeleteLest anyone think I am that good of a person, I acted like a royal jerk today.
Such is the path, right? At least I hope so.
Thank you for this kindness, for all the kindness and great love. I am just grateful to be where I am.
A church that does a same sex partner funeral with such honor and joy? It is my gift to serve there?

ReplyDeleteFran, you are a good person. What a lovely story. I rejoice with you that all involved in the funeral honored the couple in such a beautiful way.
