Attending my uncle Harry's funeral at First Presbyterian Church- Leroy, Il
My childhood church, first time in about 45 years. Singing a hymn, remembering my grandmother's voice. Wynters Staley playing the organ. Phyllis Bruce (who was there today) and Rosie Owens teachers in Sunday School rooms in "dungeon". Funeral dinner was in basement, recalling Vacation Bible School when 8th grade girls made the Kool Aid.
On the spot where 52 years ago I was the angel who appeared before the shepherds and proclaimed "Behold I bring you glad tidings of great joy..."
