The funeral for Melanie and Curt's stillborn, full term son (Mathew John) will be Monday morning. (do you remember in January when I shared that the church organist of 40 years had been killed in a car accident south of our home? That was Melanie's aunt.)

I have another court hearing Monday morning, 1 hour before the visitation.

Please pray that I will be able to get to the visitation and funeral, and that Melanie, Curt, and the rest of their family will have peace.


***************UPDATE***********

Thank you for all the prayers. It was a beautiful mass. Their just turned 8yo daughter sang "Adonai" after Holy Communion. Her voice is wonderful, but there was not a dry eye to be seen. I will never forget seeing that little casket placed into the ground. Curt and Melanie held up very well. Their faith is a shining example to everyone they meet.

This is, indeed, too much for a week, let alone one day. I will be praying for you, your family, and dear friends.
