But the people who read are family members - and very emotional. One of the names they're going to read will be the family member who died. So you can forgive them for not paying proper attention to the names of strangers. But yes, they all deserve respect.

I don't know these folks but they deserve respect and their loves one deserve to hear the PROPER and CORRECT name. Do the readers just get the list right before the ceremony?<br /><br />Good for you!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525229216299973928.post-13451886510397645272012-01-05T09:10:19.351-06:002012-01-05T09:10:19.351-06:00Viki, This really touched a chord!

When my brother read the names in the Prayer of the Faithful, he mispronounced my best friend,Judy's last name. I cringed. It really bothered me. So I can relate to how you felt and I commend you for all your efforts to correct it. Often times the littlest things that make the biggest difference.kathleen poolerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011121167730644229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525229216299973928.post-3530529916271784162012-01-04T18:13:35.357-06:002012-01-04T18:13:35.357-06:00It was all so weird: Carol and I weren't frien...It was all so weird: Carol and I weren't friends, just classmates.

How lovely of you to care enough about your friend to make sure (to the extent that you could) that her name was pronounced correctly during that memorial service. We all should be blessed with friends as loyal and true as you are.Marty Tousley, RN, MS, FThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05517952534831180171noreply@blogger.com
