Memorial Service

Sanctuary at Grace United Methodist Church, Manassas, Virginia. This picture is deceiving–it’s actually much wider than it is deep.

Ryma’s memorial service today was nearly perfect. The hymns and scripture readings–in both English and Bahasa Indonesia–were perfect. The two pieces sung by her brother Andrey were incredible, and her brother Johan spoke eloquently and from the heart, as did all the speakers.

Ryma loved turtles! Someone suggested bringing some of her personal things to display on the guest book table, which turned out to be too small, so instead the altar table was adorned with some of her stuffed turtles (as well as a picture of her)!
