Okay, we have arrangement info for you all. Well, for those who are able to attend, that is.
Deegan's funeral will be at 4 pm on Sunday, August 1st. There will be calling hours from 2 pm to 4 pm before the funeral. A reception will follow the funeral. If you feel led to make and bring something to the reception, please feel free.
The funeral and calling hours will be held at First Baptist Church of Central Square, NY. It's the the fairly large white building just past the fire department. The church has limited parking, but across the street is Traub's Funeral Home, who are handling arrangements and have kindly opened their parking lot to us. And, sort of behind the church and across the street is a bank, where we are also able to park. There is on-street parking as well, on both Main Street (which runs north and south) and Fulton Ave. (which is the one behind the church and runs east-west).
We are asking folks to do a couple of things.
First, please feel free to bring cut flowers from your gardens! Deegan loved to pick flowers and give them to me, even if it was only a dandelion. So, to honor that, please feel free to bring your own (or go ask that neighbor with the lovely gardens for some!) flowers in a vase to decorate the sanctuary. Deegan will love it.
Also, since he LOVED his temporary tatoos, we're going to have a bunch at the doors- please don a tatoo in support of this fun loving, sweet spirited little guy whose heart will live on with ALL of those who met him.
We are at peace (for the most part) knowing that he's in heaven and we will one day see him again.
And, for those of you who will not be able to attend the funeral, or who may not feel comfortable doing so, we plan on having a Celebration of Life party soon, perhaps in a couple of weeks, where we will remember Deegan. Details to follow as we work that out. We may have one Party down where our parents are from, and one up here where we live. Feel free to let us know your thoughts on that. Big hugs, and thanks for your support through ALL of this craziness. -Joy

Keeping this family and loved ones of Deegan lifted in prayer today. Father, may You reach down and comfort their grieving hearts as they prepare for Deegan's funeral. I pray for Your precious and holy spirit to blanket them during this most difficult time. Give them strength, Lord, as they face this day and the days ahead without their precious son. Praising You for the promises of heaven where there is no more tears or suffering for Deegan. To God I give the glory, forever and ever. Amen

AMEN!!!
I will be calling her tomorrow as I'm driving back to VA. I'll have time to talk with her then and will pass along all of the prayers that continue for the family.
Thank you all! I'm starting to feel it now.

May the comfort of His precious and holy spirit embrace you, too, mutiny. I know that right now you feel as though you have to be strong for your best friend. But, at some point, close your bedroom door and cry. God knows that your heart is aching also. He is faithful, and has enough peace and comfort to hold you up, too, sister. He will dry the tears as they flow. Your grief is raw right now so don't expect to overcome this in such a short amount of time. {Hugs}

Lord I pray cancer leaves Deegan's body in Jesus name. I speak life over Deegan in Jesus name. Lord your beautiful! Glorify Yourself through this situation Lord. I pray the evil attacking his body be bound off him in Jesus name. Loose healing from Your throne to Deegan Holy Jesus.
Turn what satan meant for harm to blessing Lord.
In Jesus name, Amen.

Joy wants to thank everyone for praying for them, and continuing to pray for them. She said her husband gave a beautiful eulogy that was very evangelical in nature. They know Deegan is with Jesus. She sounds remarkably good...I do think it is finally a relief that he's no longer in pain and they can now begin their new lives once again...while honoring his life.

Oh Father, thank You for the faith of this family, and for the life of this child who is now in Your arms. Help them, strengthen them, encourage them and bless them dear Lord, in every way that You know is best. In Jesus name. Amen

(((((Mutiny))))))
Although there are times like these that bring sorrow along with comfort of Fathers Love and care, we sometimes do not always understand Gods ways. Yet, we do trust Him, in ways when we do not understand and hopefully gain strength during these challenging times...I pray for God to send forth friends who will not only bring comfort love and support during this time, but also those who will remain for many months and years to come, and not just simply walk away after a while...
We know this precious one is now pain free and in the arms of the Lord so it is, we Thank God for His infinite mercy and complete healing of this precious little lamb....
May the Lord bring comfort during this time of grief.
Love in Christ
