Today the church celebrates the Feast of All Souls.  This perfectly coincides with the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead.  I’ve never celebrated Day of the Dead before, but after finding a couple of children’s books, soon to be added to our permanent collection at home, I decided to make a small altar and buy some treats

I set up a small altar with pictures of some of our relatives that have passed away.  Then Lance and I talked about some of them.  The boys only remember Bisa, Uncle Richard, and Uncle Ed.  It’s pretty sweet, they always remember these three in their prayers and are quite positive that they have special angels watching over them in heaven.

In memory: Grandpa, Bisa, Grandpa Zierlein, Grandma May, Grandma Zierlein, Grandpa Stephens, Lili, Felipa, Aunt Julia, Uncle Richard, Uncle Ed, Marlisa Rene

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
