Comments about Ron's memorial service

In these past few days, I have heard some wonderful comments about Ron’s memorial service. Below are a few that were posted on www.fmveg.org:

“Ron's service was very nice - especially the scripture from Isaiah 11:2-9 & the hymns, "All Creatures of Our God and King" & "All Things Bright and Beautiful". The priest's homily spoke of how Ron tried to live so as to see Isaiah 11 fulfilled - how Ron believed that loving our neighbor includes loving not just our human neighbors, but all creatures on this earth. That was the Ron I knew - an agent of peace, kindness, mercy and compassion - for all creatures, great or small!”

“Beautiful service. Glad so many people came to it.”

“I didn't give this a ‘great’ rating due to the sad nature of the event, but I was blessed to attend. The church was filled to overflowing - over 100 people attended, & most stayed for the vegan meal following the service! Thanks to all of the FMVeg members who brought food and served in the kitchen. Many of Ron's family & church friends made very positive comments, and I'm sure Ron would have been pleased.”

“ It was a good service, the sermon/Gospel was perfect for Ron. We were worried that we wouldn't have enough food, but it all worked out....the loaves multiplied..."
