Masonic Mafia
The other day we held a graveside Masonic funeral service for a Brother in my lodge who has passed on . Here we are in the blazing sun , 96 degrees all in black suits .
As uncomfortable as I was , with the sweat running down into my eyes , my suit coat soaked through with sweat , I was still moved by the words of the PM who performed the service . I honestly do not know of a more moving "lecture" . I have had non-Masons walk up to us and tell us how beautiful the service was at previous funerals , but I wonder how many truly listen to the words spoken ? I know my wife did at her step-father's funeral because she told me then and there that she now knew why I loved being a Freemason . It is one of the greatest honors I have ever participated in .
