   Or perhaps, Cody, that might be:  “Hole-ly, hole-ly, hole-ly…..”

   Although I was honored to wear those robes in their “later” years, the red and blue will be missed!  🙂 

    

   Here’s some more to go with Tim’s thoughts:  

    

   Philip: It is right to give our thanks and praise, always and everywhere, for the stoles, zippers, and buttons that have

   aided us, and have kept us adorned in proper choir attire.  Now, as we give thanks for these garments for the last time,

   let us join with the angels, adorned in their heavenly choir robes, as we sing their unending hymn of praise, “Holy, holy, holy….”

   Wonderful!  Hilarious and poignant! 

   We retired/replaced the Vanderbilt choir robes after similar service.  Out of about 100 old, old robes, 20 were still in good condition.  We were able to give them to a small church choir that made new stoles for them and sent us pictures, greatly pleasing the students and me too.

    

   Wish I’d thought to create such a memorable liturgy.  Bravo to you, Phil.

   And also with you.
