The smoke must have cleared out as I was able to see stars above the skylight. I hope it may remain behind the hills or better yet disappear all together. Bless the many fire fighters who are battling the flames.
A funeral was held yesterday at the church. The second I've attended in person rather than virtually since the pandemic made its way to the US. As with the last funeral, the service did not take place until after the body had been buried - or in yesterday's case, cremated.
Jenna had been asked to sing with her friend, Heather. They performed two songs: "I am a Child of God" and "Where Love is". I remember them learning the latter in primary after Jenna had already graduated to Young Women's. It is one of my favorite primary songs and it makes me feel bad that I somehow missed out on teaching or singing it to Jenna.
She took it upon herself to find a recording that neither one of us particularly enjoyed. She learned it and practiced with Heather for the first time yesterday morning before the funeral started. There was no emotional attachment and they were able to sing both songs in their entirety without stirred feelings. They did a really great job.
