Two memorable Saturdays

Yes, memorable indeed. Last Saturday was a first and hopefully a last--we attended two funerals in one day. Morning found us in Ft. Wayne, IN attending the funeral of our long time friend, Verlin Stoller. Several years ago he requested that Lynn participate in his service and although not easy, my husband had part of the service and did a good job, especially considering his proneness to as he terms them "emotional meltdowns." Then we drove on for slightly more than an hour to Bremen for the memorial service of Letty Hueni, the twin sister of Betty Schumacher, whom many of you know. Both services were sad but not grievous since both deceased were bedridden and well ready to meet the Lord. Saturday today was on a happier note. Julie Hazelrigg, a dear young Chinese (like late 30's)friend that I knew in Decatur from teaching her English as a second language and from her attending the Bible study, came here along with her American husband Ron and her Chinese parents, who are visiting for six months and know not a word of English! They came mid-afternoon and had supper with us. Julie and her mother went with me to Ann's for a drop in bridal shower that Mary Lee was hosting for a friend. Julie got excited about the Bailes' screened in porch, so Mike took the men to his house to see the porch. It looks like Ron has a big project ahead. Anyway, we enjoyed their coming. It is interesting how well we communicated without conversing. Of course, Julie interpreted.
