Works of Art

Before I (Ron) get into the reason for the title of this post, this update…

This afternoon, we pass on Kari’s “party bus” to a local family who has a son in a wheelchair. That came together quickly as did the purchase of a minivan for our second vehicle. We already think of this as Matthew’s minivan because it is easier for him to get in and out of. The color of the “new” Sienna is Predawn Gray. Seems appropriate because that’s where we live right now – in the Pre-Dawn. Or as C.S. Lewis would have said, we live in the “Shadowlands.” Some say, “the darkest hour is just before the dawn.” In any case, we’re reminded that “Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.” (ESV)

For the prelude to Kari’s Celebration of Life, Jeremy created a video of slides to accompany “Simple Things,” a song written and sung by a dear friend of ours, Nancy Landis Wright.

Also, during the same Celebration of Life, Jeremy shared his precious thoughts about having Kari as his sister – a beautiful work of art. You can find it here. Kari’s Eulogy by her Brother

Many of you have expressed appreciation for Rob Vaughn’s post (another precious work of art), found here: https://robvaughnnews.substack.com/p/the-girl-who-could-not-speak?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&triedRedirect=true

And finally, the Celebration of Life is now up on YouTube. It begins with lots of slides. The prelude “Simple Things” begins at 24:19. The welcome begins at 28:53.
