    Funeral message for Thelma Harper Brown, who exhibited extraordinary patience during a long decline.

    What must it feel like to spend every day waiting? Just waiting. Not going anywhere, not keeping appointments, not concerned about a schedule, but just waiting.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, Dc, March 25, 2000 To experience great loss is difficult enough.

    A funeral sermon for locally favorite guitarist (Idea came from Gene Packwood at: http://kiwirev.blogspot.com/2011/06/untitled.html)
