Journal entry by Amy Carey —
Dear friends and family of John Southwood,
Thank you to those of you who attended the Celebration of Life service for my dad this past Saturday in Maryville, TN, and to those who were able to join us virtually through the livestream. I wanted to let you know that the service livestream was recorded, so you can view it now at your leisure, if you missed it earlier.
Also, we were informed that there was a technical issue with the livestream: when the 4-minute slideshow of photos of my dad's life played in the middle of the service, apparently the livestream cut out to 4 minutes of silence, but then the livestream resumed after that pause. So, in case some of you were watching but then thought the livestream stopped, the entire program is available for you to view at the link below. The recording begins with 20 minutes of scrolling photos of John Southwood's life that were projected before the service began. Then, the moment when the slideshow played in the service is skipped over, but that slideshow has been added on to the end of the recording.
Thank you all for your kind words of support and encouragement.
