Honor to whom honor is due. So CRUSH drank a bottle of holy water, started speaking in tongues, and got down to business. We “extend our heartfelt sympathies to all those who have gathered” here today around Cashmere speakers joining us “in remembering and celebrating the life of the Queen of Soul” (Barack Obama). “Offering the world a continuous evocation of Holy Spirit, Aretha Franklin through her life, united the secular and the sacred. Now that her body has departed we have the privilege of remaining always with her in spirit” (bell hooks) and with the full force of her singing weight. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted (Matthew 5:4).
