Roger McLain, father to friend Laurie, died in July and today we attended his memorial service. I loved this picture on the front of the program.
The service began with family members bringing in items and setting up an altar of things Roger loved. I liked that detail.
Along with the full mass came singing along with “Shiver Me Timbers” by Tom Waits. After the service, we went to the parish hall to tell stories and eat Roger’s favorite foods: pizza and strawberry shortcake.
I also loved this sculpture at the church.
Farewell to Roger, who lived a good life and left many people who will miss him.
