A FUN FUNERAL

Footnote to last week’s report on a very creative lady, longtime actress and storytelling artist Nancy Duncan of Omaha, who enjoyed seeing a magnificent rainbow the evening before she died.

Her funeral was creative, too. Someone she mentored wrote:

‘’Due to the extended nature of her dying, Nancy had the opportunity to plan her own funeral, which was pretty cool for a storyteller/director/actor. In addition to Bible readings and songs from the church hymnal, there was poetry, dance, and of course -- stories.

‘’I thought I wouldn’t cry, but I did, freely and gladly.

‘’Instead of the traditional funeral lunch, her family provided a build-your-own-ice-cream-sundae buffet.

‘’And they spread out her tchotchkes, brick-a-brack, knick-knacks, and ‘stuff’ on tables for all of us to take.

‘’People went to the open microphone to tell stories of Nancy and (I thought, not appropriately, but Nancy would have approved) just to perform other stories.

‘’I hope my funeral is as cool!’’

Prayer request: Thank You, Jesus, for inspiring Nancy and her loved ones with this fabulous rebuke to death. It points the way toward a joyous, creative view of heaven for all who believe. We heard the ice-cream sundaes there have no calories, too! (1 Corinthians 15:55)
