In Remembrance of Raymond Victor Franz
by snowbird inmy thoughts on ray franz.
living down here in the backwoods of alabama, we were privy to very little of what was going on in wt world.
most of us never heard about the shake-up at headquarters during the 80's.

No Memorial For Ray Franz.
by Blue Grass ini've read on multiple threads that ray will not have a memorial service per his request and that he will be cremated.
on one hand this is good because it's confirms his sincerity and humility and shows he doesn't seek praise or attention.
it's more evidence that his books were written honestly and weren't written out of spite or for just monetary gain.

Yes, I think family and close friends NEED some kind of memorial gathering. It's part of the grieving process.

Well, I don't consider it central. I'm in Atlanta.

I like Violia's idea. I think we could have a big Apostafest in memory of Ray. In some kind of central location.
I understand that he did not want a funeral or traditional memorial service. This wouldn't be anything that Cynthia would be burdened with.
Crapola, my mother requested no funeral or any type of service. We had a private memorial gathering at her home. Her siblings and close friends were invited. All of her JW siblings and spouses came. There was nothing religious except one Bible verse was read. We had a slide show of pictures, played music that she liked, served food that she liked, and read some poetry that she liked. Everyone was given a chance to speak and share memories if they wished.
