A Celebration In Heaven

There is a celebration in Heaven........a newly added angel is among them and her name is Carolyn Chen.   Carolyn was unique.  She's among the FEW people I've known who was TRULY Loving

All her life she endured major medical problems, personal strife, discrimination, persecution and torment.  In spite of all these negative happenings, I marvel at how she maintained vibrancy, stamina, courage, insightfulness, dignity, and an abiding faith in the LORD.  Most of all she continued LOVE for humanity and she was an advocate for human rights.  There's an old cliché or saying:  "It is a rich man, who can say he had one friend in life".  I will say that each of us here today are all rich because we had Carolyn as a friend.  In closing I am not saying goodbye......."we'll see you down the road, Carolyn, and we send our light and love to you." Angel Carolyn would request that in lieu of flowers, you would instead send a donation in her memory to the Salvation Army Domestic Violence Shelter here in NPR.  She would also thank you all for coming today.

This memorial service was held at Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church in NPR. Florida.  It was organized by Carolyn's dear friend Dory.  The service was a mixture of traditional hymns, The Lord's Prayer, Love Can Move Mountains...and That's the Way it is......by Celene Dion.  The worship and praise hymns that were sung included "You Turned My Mourning Into Dancing and Lord, I Lift Your Name on High......which you are now listening to.
