“As the chairman of our deacon board, Al Wylie was also a respected figure in the church. We already knew we would use him for any death in our family except my mother’s. She said that she didn’t want him and his son looking at her naked body when she passed away. She joked that she would rather go to someone she didn’t know, someone who wouldn’t try to cop a feel.”
