We asked (the parish pastor) if we could have a service for our friend there, and he agreed. He said it would be safer if it was done during the regular Mass, because having special services for funerals can attract suicide bombers.

We read some of (Fox's) writings and sang a hymn that he had changed some of the words to a little bit to suit himself. At the end, it was quite obvious that (pastor) Father Vincent just threw away the homily that he had prepared for that Sunday and simply asked for an end to the violence.

It certainly looks better than it has in past years.

We understand that not all churches can pull off canceling or relocating a service. We still consider some of those churches very supportive.

You lock them down in that car forever. You really don't do a service, in my opinion, to the customer or yourself. Sure, you sell them a car - but you'll never sell them another one.

Airlines are not a social service industry. Everyone expects the airlines to take a financial hit then criticizes them when they don't make money.
