Eloquence in a difficult setting

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 1:52 am

For the last few day’s my wife, Kathy, and I have been in Buffalo, NY. We stayed at my Dad and Ruth’s home. On Sunday Dad, Kathy and I attended a memorial service for Kathy’s Uncle Rye who passed away about two months ago. Kathy’s mother, and sister drove up to attend the service. Kathy’s aunt and all of her cousins were also there. It was held at the Empire State College where he worked, and many co-workers attended. At the service, Kathy’s cousins spoke very eloquently about their father with both sadness and humor on his unique life and his effect on them. As I listened all I could think about was that when the time comes for me to do the same I don’t think I could do it with the style and grace that they exhibited. Although the occasion was a sad reminder of our family’s loss, it was also a time to reconnect. I enjoyed talking to everyone, but it was over all too soon.
