Last week I attended the most amazing memorial service ever. The deceased person’s name was Joe. I had only known him for a few years and right after I met him he was diagnosed with cancer. He underwent numerous rounds of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. He was unable to eat or drink and had to use a feeding tube. During this time, he was always upbeat, smiling and saying kind things to people. After he passed away, a memorial service was held and the church was packed with many of his long-time friends who flew in from all over the country. What made the service so amazing is that the people who spoke about Joe’s life all said the same thing in a slightly different way: “Joe was one of those rare individuals whose life mission was to make other people happy.” What a great example to live our lives by.
