Memorial for a Great Friend of our Church Family

Memorial for a great friend of our church family, by Sue Amabile​
My Mom passed in 2004 and Sacred Heart had too many memories for my Dad and me. My nephew, Jake noticed the VBS sign on the lawn at St. David’s. When he was younger he knew Glista and Kacey White, who attended church here. I worked with Laura Fellows and asked her about St. David’s. She referred me to Jim Shields. After a talk in his office Jim said, “ We will see you and your Dad at the 10 O’ clock service.” Jim was Junior Warden when we arrived, getting the Rectory ready for Fr. Darius and family. Many parishioners helped to get the rectory in shape. My Dad and I met people at Coffee Hour. My Dad and Rich Seaver hit it off. I was asked to serve Coffee Hour. Joan Hudson and Jean Carpenter introduced me to the 8. We became friendly with various individuals, including Barb Mickna, Bob, Ellen, Penny, Virginia, Barb and Norm, Jo and Paul, Carol, Norma, Sue, Jude, John, Jean and Herb, the Kopycinski’s and Beulah later on. I forgot to mention I was promoted to Parish Life Coordinator and the Vestry by Larry White. A position I really enjoyed, for twelve years. My Dad had a particular fondness listening to Fr. Dan Baker. We also liked the 5:00 P.M. service. I attended classes and was confirmed by Bishop Scruton at the Cathedral.
My Dad sat in the Narthex every Sunday for Coffee Hour, many people came over to talk to him. Reupholstering the chairs and a luncheon was held in memory of my father James Amabile on December 15, 2025.
