funeral

Isn't it just like Betty Ford to choose a "spiritual" to start off her funeral here in Grand Rapids.  Back in the day before it was politically incorrect to use the term "negro" it was referred to as a "Negro spiritual".  Spirituals are raw, honest, bluesy, transparent, beautiful and real.  Just like Betty Ford!  It's no wonder she chose Done Made My Vow!

Former First Lady, and Grand Rapids own, Betty Ford,  is coming home.

Nine year old Christina Green was shot to death last Saturday at the Giffords assassination attempt. Members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas - known for protesting at the funerals of soldiers and victims of diseases and tragedies that they believe are God's wrath - plan to travel over 1,000 miles just to rub it in.
