The Red Brick Times

We met to comfort each other and to honor Linda's influence on us today. Her family was comforted by the message of the preacher from the Church of the Open Door. We lunatic fringe and Schoolhouse remainders severally, as we later discovered, and silently included the Buddhists, the Taoists, the Bahai, the Moslems, the Sufis, the Jews and all of the myriad believers and non-believers to the overt message of the "one true path" to peace and eternity. I felt that Linda would be laughing gently, knowing that we were all so right in the way we love each other, and so silly in the way our egos and personalities prickle to separate us sometimes.

After the drive to the cemetary, and as we stood around the grave, it became difficult to hear the preacher's final words as airplanes, birds, lawn mowers, wind, and water moved all around us under the bright, warm sunshine. Sometimes God speaks louder than preachers. Linda Weiss spoke words of memory and gratitude and farewell for all of us, and Peg Strang sang a ballad. Thank you all for the deep feelings and warmth we share.
