Cathy Seipp's Funeral

The funeral for Cathy Seipp was well attended, and for all, deeply moving.

We spoke to Cathy's 17-year old daughter Maia, and offered some measure of nechama, comfort. It was difficult and tragic beyond words.

Cathy's friend, Greg Critser, spoke beautifully and appropriately. He discussed death, he spoke of the bottomless grief the great Jewish sage Rambam, Maimonides suffered after his brother David drowned at sea.

I went over to Greg at Cathy's graveside and thanked him for his lovely hesped, eulogy.

We helped shovel earth over Cathy's grave, as tradition requires.

After washing our hands, we drove home to prepare for Shabbat.

Baruch Dayan Emet.

Karen and I wish you all a lovely and meaningful Shabbat.

Comments

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.

1. No profanity.

2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism.

That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
