For those who may be unfamiliar with the term, “lying in state” is a time set aside for the public to come and pay their respects to someone who served their community with distinction.
This is not a visitation, and the family will not be present to receive guests during this time. You are welcome to come and go as your schedule allows, spend a few quiet moments paying your respects, and then depart.
The visitation on Saturday will be the designated time for those wishing to personally greet and offer condolences to the family.
Lying in state is simply a solemn opportunity for our community to honor, remember, and say goodbye to our dear Judge Anderson. He certainly is worthy of this honor.
We are incredibly grateful to First Presbyterian Church for so graciously accommodating us during this difficult time.
Judge Anderson loved his church, was proud to be a member, and it feels especially meaningful that our community will have the opportunity to honor him in a place that meant so much to him.
