Dear Departed

My friend, Maria Anthuvan, lost his uncle, Mr. Amalraj, aged 80+. Maria was definitely sad. In fact, he will be offering a mass for the repose of the soul of his uncle today. We shall pray for him in a special way. Well, when it comes to a dear departed, age is insignificant. Relationship takes precedence. Grief is a positive emotion. Grieving for the dead is also a sign of deep relationship that one had enjoyed with the dead.
