Attending a Funeral in Sada for a Member from Mthatha

We attended the funeral in Shilo near Whittlesea that the Mthatha Elders came to attend today.  We met up with the leadership of the Mthatha Branch and then followed them to the home where the funeral was held.  There were a large number that attended the funeral and the services went about 3 hours. 

The group then walked to the cemetery for the dedication of the grave.  Elder DeCarvalho dedicated the grave and Elder Trepanier said the closing prayer.

You can see the back of Elder Tennant as we walk back to the family’s house from the Cemetery carrying a baby back to lighten a mother’s load.  Easy to pick him out in his white shirt.

After the Funeral we stopped at the local road side cafe to get the Elders some chips for their ride home.
