Today I'm helping to lead a memorial service for Jean Sowder Snyder, former resident at Telford Terrace in Richmond, KY. This is the nursing home where I've visited weekly from October 2000 through early March this year (about 930 visits in all). While Jean was there in 2019-2020 she regularly attended my Bible-study-and-hymns meetings, and upon her death her daughter Liz Ross asked me to speak and sing at her funeral. I chose my Psalm 150:6 tie, "Let all that hath breath praise the Lord!" I'm singing Amazing Grace and 'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus, and reading parts of the committal service from the Presbyterian Book of Common Worship.
