This sentiments of this song were a comfort to my sister when her daughter died. May it help just a little bit now.

          Alive and Well
                                    Ebbie

I heard my mother as she lay dying speak
of winged angels that fears dispelled
And though in sorrow my heart is crying
I know her spirit is alive and well

       For as sure as the bright sun and the stars above me
       As sure as stories that people tell
       I know the spirit that's giving and loving
       I know it will always be alive and well
        Oh, I know it will always be alive and well

Though loved ones' passing may leave me lonely
As one by one they heed that bell
Still I'll remember one glad thought only:
I know their spirits are alive and well

When breath forsakes me and none can hold me
(And when that may be, no tongue can tell)
And though my heart cease, that will set my soul free
And I know that I'll always be alive and well.
