Rest in Peace

 


My Mother-in-Law died last Saturday after a long and very difficult illness. She did so with the Rites of the Church, and many thanks go out to the faithful priests in Calgary who were there for her and her family. 

She was a most forgiving person but tough for all that, growing up in Corsicana during the War. She once said to me, "When I was that age I thought there wasn't a horse I couldn't ride." Respect.

Her Requiem is set, tentatively, for next week. Please pray for the repose of her soul. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

Yours,

LSP

  3. It's crazy what our ancestors did for fun and just for daily life. Sorry for your loss.

    As to music, well, Mozart's "Requiem" is a good one, though a little heavy. Though Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" can just yank the tears out of my eyes on a good day.

    1. Beans, I've always liked Derufle's thing. Perhaps that makes me a Romantic! And love the Paradiso PostScript. Beautiful.
