Funeral Homily for Karla

Normally I would never share a funeral homily on the Internet. That wouldn't even be the kind of thing I would ask about. But because I was asked by family to share this homily, and because the ideas are the kind of thing that people need to be reminded of again and again, I'm willing to do it.

Karla was a wife, a mom, and a nurse. She was just 50. She left behind a husband, four kids (as young as fourteen), and close friends. Her death was sudden, tragic, and confusing. It seems she fell down the stairs late at night and suffered major head trauma. Words are hard to come by in light of such events, but priests have to try.
