I had the good fortune today to officiate at a funeral for a well loved member of our congregation. Her children wanted each grandchild and great-grandchild to light a candle during the first hymn. They insisted on taper candles so I went to my "stash" and found some of my "finds". I guess I should admit that it started with a sterling silver set from a beloved parishioner. She had been given them as a gift from Birks (remember Birks?) and she wanted me to have them. From then on, I was hooked. When they were lit, they looked lovely. And I might add, I kept a fire extinguisher behind the lectern!!
