A Message

On Saturday I presided at the memorial service for Joe and Muriel Plonko. During the graveside service, after I had said the words of committal, I began the prayer which thanks God for their presence in our lives and commends their souls back to God. As I began, a beautiful dragonfly flew over and rested right at the top of my book and sat there until the prayer was done, then flew away. Now it could be that it just happened that the dragonfly needed a place to stop for a moment, but with the love that Joe and Muriel had for nature and God's creation, I took it as a sign to me and to all of us that they are okay and just wanted to let us know.
