"daisies, elephants, and flying fish"
Jan. 13th, 2013 08:46 pm[Subject line from Gary Kowalski's "An Alphabet of Gratitude," one of the readings at church today]
As this morning's lay leader, I lit the memorial candle for Shirley Ryberg, whose memorial service will be held on what would've been her 95th birthday. Shirley, Jan Robinson, and I put together a sermon back in 2009. Well into her 80s, she wrote biographies of the church's new members for the newsletter. Even when she could no longer read the hymnal, she still happily sang along, wordlessly caroling along and swaying to the music.
