My father died, they threatened not to bury him until we paid off his outstanding.
-He’d been a very active member from before I was born.
-He loved church, crazy. He’d rather be wheeled to church dying than skip a Sunday.
-He contributed immensely, EVERY way.
-Everyone was aware his illness drained our bank, thus, outstanding dues.
Yet… Amongst other things anyway but this was the last straw.
