Mary called the night before and wanted to know if VIP Studios could video tape her father's (Hameed B. Macary) funeral so she could send it to some family overseas. Sounds like this is getting to be something more and more requested since this is my second funeral in the last few months. Even been getting requests for my business card from the funeral homes so they could contact me again. First Lebanese funeral I have done. Very close to a Greek format if you ask me. Although I would say, the job was very good and only took up two hours of my time. It was worth it, and it was a pleasure to meet Mary and her family. From what I understand, Hameed was the one that started the Lebanese Festivals here in Waterbury. He was also very close to the Jarjura family.

Three prayers and a funeral
Friday, March 14, 2008 - Meet Ken Reeder at Grace Baptist Church at 9:00 AM
Yes......, I did get a little emotional on this job. A good friend of mine Ken Reeder, a Disc Jockey I have known for over 20 years called VIP Studios and asked if I would be able to video tape his brothers "HomeGoing" Service this week at Grace Baptist Church. I committed and said yes, having done a funeral service before, it wasn't my first, but this one was different. Seeing his brother David Reeder in a open casket and having his mom, brothers, sisters, and extended families all there filling the church pews really got the best of me when the hymns were being sung by the choir, hearing the pains of sorrow from the closest family members and the eulogies they prepared and spoke so softly, broke me down to a humble person. I could not help my eyes from welling up as Amazing Grace rang through those church walls. David must have been a very special person. It showed throughout the service the family so carefully put together. As the pastor spoke, he reminded us that we can make and brake all the appointments we want, but one. God's appointment with us is one that we have no control over, it's in God's hands and when that scheduled appointment is set.....it's time.
I was honored to have the privilege to video tape for Ken Reeder. I have always respected Ken. After today, my thoughts of gratitude, family, and love are more thought about in a more deeper sense. As the saying goes......Here today, gone tomorrow. I want everyday to count now. This is a new day.

Thank you Ken Reeder for the opportunity to meet your wonderful family.
Welcome home David, welcome home.
