it was for us too
the gathering of family and close friends
for our dear friend yvette yesterday
was for us as much as it was for her.

but it was a reminder
to us as much as it was to her:
"whoever clings to me i will deliver; whoever knows my name i will set on high.
all who call upon me i will answer; i will be with them in distress;
i will deliver them and give them honor. with length of days i will satisfy them
and show them my saving power."
Psalm 91, 14-16

what you did for her, organizing the gathering, setting up the mass, merienda, etc... was a great gesture... I call it "being" Emmanuel --- allowing yourselves to be used by God to be a sign of His presence in another's life.
It goes beyond saying "I will pray for you"... its actually praying WITH her.
