Say Her Name. Say His Name. Say Their Name.

"For a moment, we forget. In a moment, we remember. For a moment we remember. And then in a moment, we forget. Today we come together to honor both those whom we love but see no longer and also the struggle and dance of we whose journey on earth is not yet done. Today we come together to proclaim that though death seems final, though we long so deeply for the things that still seem so close and yet we increasingly too easily forget – the warmth of her touch, the smell of his hair, the sound of their laugh … we come together to proclaim that the parting of death is but painful and powerful illusion. That what God has joined together not even death can tear asunder. That when we Say Her Name Say His Name Say Their Name We are proclaiming that we have been … and always will be … One."
