My husband of 62 years died in December 2020, and by January I needed to experience a church-based Service of Memory for him. My local church, First Community in Columbus, Ohio, was only able to include the immediate family and staff for the event so we opted to live stream the service, so family and friends could participate. Then the tech guy at the church put the service on a link that we could watch again and refer friends who had missed the live stream to. I can never fully express how much this meant to me or how helpful it was. Three cheers (at least) to the churches that got out of their comfort zone to help during this awful time!
