On Monday morning, August 14, 2017 at 2:15 am, Mary received a call from the floor nurse at St Mary Hospital in Livonia to inform her that her dad, Kenneth Ureel had just passed away during the night. We spent the next day on the phone with the funeral home and the church making arrangements for his funeral the next Friday. We had just talked to the doctor at the hospital earlier and were told he was doing better. However, we all knew he was ready to pass on and he wanted to be with Colleen.
Having just gone through planning Colleen's funeral in March it made all the planning for Ken's funeral so much easier. Mary told me that if I did not want to preach at his funeral she would understand. She knows how emotional I have been with fighting the cancer and being on the steroids. I gave it a couple of days of thought and decided to preach at the funeral. Once again I do not know how you prepare to preach at the death of a close family member but the Holy Spirit leads you to where you need to go.
What an emotional time this has been for all of us.......
