We will be spending the next few days on
the road for funeral services. My husband's uncle passed away yesterday
after a long battle with cancer. I found this little park with a creek
and rose garden near the funeral home. We'll stay here for a bit while
we wait for my husband to vest his uncle with some of the other priests
in our diocese. When a priest dies, his fellow priests clothe him in his
vestments while they recite the prayers that he would normally say
himself. I'm glad my husband was able to do this for his uncle. Before
this year, he had never vested a priest. This will be his third time in
2021... a heartbreaking reality for our family and parish (all died from
old age/longtime ailments, not you-know-what).
