As we approach our memorial service for Mary Pickering, I have found in my video archives from last spring a clipping that is so poignant that I want to share it. Not only is it a haunting reminder of the beauty of Mary's voice, the fact that she died in a tragic automobile accident 8 months after this was filmed (during worship on March 9, 2008) makes the song especially meaningful to all of us as we look to that "gathering at the river".
