This Year, Experiencing Death and Resurrection during Holy Week has become a Personal Reality
By Larry Peterson
Marty’s funeral was April 6th. Everything was perfect; the Mass, the music, the people, the cemetery and the traditional “fellowship” that followed. I arrived back home about 3:30 pm and headed to the dining room table. I looked around and the reality of the moment sent a shiver though my body. I realized I was alone…very alone.
