Farewell but not Goodbye
Off we go to Kingston this morning to inter the ashes of my late mother, Margaret Mundy (Farmer.) She died in November 2018 but we decided, as so many families do, to wait for more agreeable weather.
Mom was a fine person, who almost never complained, no matter what the circumstances. She had lots of reasons to be bitter about life, yet never was. Her Christian faith was a source of strength all through her life, and she used her musical talents and organization skills in God's service. We will gather, sing, pray, read scripture, and commend her to God's care and keeping.

Perfect weather, a lovely walk through the trees to the burial place, family offering up gratitude and affirming our resurrection hope.
