Today wasn't the easiest of days as it was the first funeral I was attending since my twin's burial. It certainly brought back some sad memories. Anyway I am glad that I managed to pay my last respects to my Aunt Prilly. The young priest Rev. Monique Campbell delivered a very uplifting Homily. As she said "Death is not an ending, it is a new beginning." She elaborated on this and it was certainly words of comfort for those of us who have lost loved ones. My cousin-in-law Vince Henry delivered a beautiful rendition of Josh Groban's song 'You Raise Me Up.' I also saw many relatives whom I had not seen in a long while and even met some new ones! I wish we could all meet on a happy occasion.
