Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Glad you could tell us that Geri. May be you could contact the Priest and see if he has a copy of the euology. Trust me that pastors and priests, don't always shoot from the hip. They need things written down. My dad was a minister and we still have his many sermons and even a few sermons from a funeral or two. I would love to see what was written as that is exactly how I feel. I don't want people to feel sorry for me. But look through the eyes of my child and how she loves life and especially how her brothers love her and accept her for who she is. Thanks for sharing and also for being able to go to the funeral for that extra support. Nerenhausen mom to Leah gazubich wrote: >I attended 's funeral today. It was sad, but beautiful.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Thanks for sharing this with us. It is nice to know you were able to be there to comfort their family. It sounds like it was an amazing speech. It is a wonderful perspective that we can share with others of what it is like to care for our kids.
