Memorial Service

The HSC is I emphasize a senior group. Mortality is common in our midst. Every Wednesday we announce a Prayer List: members, relatives of members unwell. Some members we loose to assisted living programs, to Nursing Homes, to hospitals, and to the mortuary.

I've been attending for one year now, commencing last August. This August 14, 2009, we had a memorial service for late-BOD-member Mary Oakum.


Lorraine sings a spiritual at Mary's memorial service.

Ahn, amid board members,
holds Mary's granddaughter.


Ahn and Bob transform a bingo parlor into a buffet lunch and dance hall for each Wednesday gathering. For Mary, Ahn and Bob transformed the same hall into a chapel. Board members, executives, volunteers, family members, friends ... shared reminiscences, read poems, sang spirituals ... a preacher read scripture, offered prayer ...


Nicest such service I have ever seen, let alone participated in.
