[Avalon Hussar]

In our home, my husband’s last rites were very relaxed, casual, and peaceful. Nothing felt “formal,” mostly because we were all family and had a close connection with our priest.

It was the same way when my mother was dying. The Pastor was a very close family friend who had known my parents for decades and the meeting, which started out as very somber, almost wound up turning into a revival service with God being praised for His faithfulness to not only my mother but my whole family.

My husband was a church musician, and the priest loved his music, which was very classical.
