Our minister's wife died a few days before Christmas. Her funeral was on Christmas eve. It was so hard to watch the family suffer. She was a good woman. Sorry for your losses.

I have a friend whose mother died a few days before Christmas and fortunately they managed to get the funeral in the day before Christmas Eve. It was sad but I was glad for the family that it was not hanging over them over Christmas and they could look forward to Christmas of family togetherness and peace if not the usual joyous time.

I am certain that your minister got some comfort from that as well. Hard for him as being a Minister as well especially this time of the year.

God Bless their family.
