Remembering
Our Loved Ones
Dale Archer (Central Oklahoma) recently
sent the Sigma Nu Educational Foundation
a donation in memory and celebration
of the life of his father. He sent with
it an idea for those who would like
to honor the memory of their deceased
loved ones. In Dale Archer's words,
here is his suggestion:

As
you may know my father, Bob
Archer, recently passed away.
In thinking about how to perpetuate
his memory, my family is developing
some ways to honor my father's
memory on my parent's anniversary,
Father's |
|
|
Dale
Archer and his father,
Bob Archer |
|
| |
Day,
Christmas and his birthday (which coincides
with New Year's Day and the birthday
of our brotherhood). With the money
we would have spent on him for gifts,
we are going to establish memorial accounts
with various organizations that will
perpetuate his life of ministerial service.
In memory of my father, I want to encourage
our brothers to contribute the money
they would have spent on gifts to their
now deceased family/friends toward Sigma
Nu's educational programs supported
by the Foundation.
My father preached the Word of Truth
for over 30 years. He loved people and
ministered to them regardless of color,
gender or socio-economic status. He
certainly believed in the Life of Love.
He is my example of what it is to have
Love, Honor and Truth in your every
day life.
This will be the first Thanksgiving,
Christmas and New Years without him.
But, I don't intend to mourn the loss.
I have renewed purpose to honor his
life. Simply this: regardless of how
hard my father was to buy for in the
past, my gifts for him will be the easiest
of the season.
In order to help this idea grow some
legs, I'll contribute the first $100
to the Foundation as a Gift of
Remembrance for others to follow
in my footsteps.
In Love, Honor & Truth,
Dale Archer, MT1
