Death in the church

My grandfather was an active, faithful member of a church for 50+ years and when he died, no one from the church brought food for the family. We didn't complain, but we were certainly hurt and disappointed that no one seemed to care.

I can understand that. It would feel like no one cared.

To me that is so sad - and there is absolutely no excuse for that happening. I can certainly understand your hurt and disappointment. Maybe there is a lesson here we could all learn.....
