The Wake

Wed 14th January 2009.
We had a service at St Benedict's Church followed by the ceremoney at Pinnaroo Lawn Cemetery.
If you can say a funeral is beautiful then it was beautiful. Father James did not disappoint. The family all had an imput. Cathy was adement that Mum should have her favorite songs and so she did. Kylie collected photos from all members of the family and compiled a slidshow which was very special. Greg did the eulogy which bought back fond memories for all the siblings and their families. Prayers of the faithful were read by Jenny, Tammie, Heidi, Wynita and Elise. Preparation of gifts were bought to the alter by Lydia and Carly.
