This is sisters, Audrey & Katie, after Katie's baptism a couple of weeks ago now. This past week, they lost their little brother & former stepdad in a trailer fire. Today, I attended the double funeral.
Audrey began the service by taking the podium and reading a letter she had written in memory of both Ryan & Seth to an overflow crowd in the funeral chapel. When she finished, Katie took her turn to do the same, including sharing two poems she had written especially for them.
I always thought I was pretty courageous when I spoke at my dad's funeral back when I was twenty-four years old.
I don't hold a candle to what I saw in both of these sisters today.
