Obituary - Someone Else

[Guest guest]

" Obituary - Someone Else "

Our church was saddened to learn this week of the death of one of

our most valued members, Someone Else. Someone's passing creates a

vacancy that will be difficult to fill. Else has been with us for

many years and for every one of those years, Someone did far more

than a normal person's share of the work.

Whenever there was a job to do, a class to teach, or a meeting to

attend, one name was on everyone's list, " Let Someone Else do it. "

Whenever leadership was mentioned, this wonderful person was looked

to for inspiration as well as results; " Someone Else can work with

that group. " It was common knowledge that Someone Else was among

the most liberal givers in our church. Whenever there was a

financial need, everyone just assumed Someone Else would make up

the difference.

Someone Else was a wonderful person; sometimes appearing

superhuman. Were the truth known, everybody expected too much of

Someone Else. Now Someone Else is gone! We wonder what we are going

to do.

Someone Else left a wonderful example to follow, but who is going

to follow it? Who is going to do the things Someone Else did? When

you are asked to help this year, remember - we can't depend on

Someone Else anymore.
