June 24, 2001 An Interfaith Prayer Service for
Norhashimah's father's passing
A one day notice of Norhashimah's father's death,
sent via e-mail by Malcolm, brought together many of
Norhashimah's Interfaith friends to the Munsinger gazebo
on Sunday June 24, for an interfaith prayer service.
The willingness of her Interfaith friends to sacrifice
their Sunday afternoon, and came to the gathering to remember
Norhashimah's father whom they had never met before,
touched her heart completely.
She is forever grateful for their
sensitivity & loving attendance that they shared.
At a time when comfort was needed, they graciously
provided it with loving heart.
The service was filled with prayers in various languages
and sacred texts, a beautiful universal circle dance,
and the sharing of food and drink.
Thank you very much to Malcolm, Mariani, Mark, Anne, Elaine, Jerry, Bette, Lorrie, Jeff, Karen J, Karen R., Kathy, Mare, Jake, Helen, and all of those who
showed up.May God's blessing with you always.
