[Magdalen] Aretha Franklin funeral...

[Sheila Ketler]

I don't know if anyone caught any of that funeral as it was aired live... I
started watching at 10 a.m. and finally at 4 o'clock decided I had had
enough... It went on and on and on. Apparently she went out in style each
of the days she laid in state she was dressed in a different outfit! and
that casket..?? I was thinking how many homeless and hungry could have been
fed with the money spent on a gold casket that let's face it gets put into
the ground???
I also thought we all end up to the dust dust to dust ashes to ashes and
yet at the grave we say our cry Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
She was sent off in grand style may rise in glory!! and she did have a
gorgeous voice. I wanted to hear Stevie Wonder but gave up before he was
on. I must have a death wish every time a funeral is aired on television I
have to sit and watch it!!
