Just returned from the Nottingham road cemetery

One of ours, Mrs. Josephine Connolly (+), passed over not long before Palm Sunday, and was buried this morning. The Connolly family has requested that we all pray for the peaceful repose of Mrs. Connolly, and to keep her and themselves in our prayers. I'm attaching an intonation of the old sequence from requiem Masses in the old days. Even if we cannot understand the Latin, many of us will know or remember the rhythms and the cadences of the old funeral dirge. If you enable subtitles in YouTube, you will know what's being sung.

Josephine, this is for you. Rest in peace.
