Thread Name: Memorial Service Threads?
Subject: RE: Memorial Service Threads?
I've now waded through all of those (this is an amazing place!) and have come up with more poetry than song that seems to me suitable for for a program that is not directly religious in any way. My own choices so far are The May Song (last verse:The life of man is but a span, he flourish as the flower. He's here today, has not long to stay, And is gone in an hour), John O'Dreams, Wayfaring Stranger (religious, but such an old standard, like Amazing Grace, that I can't see it offending anyone), and James T's "Close Your Eyes"

I'm sure the music dir. will have some input but I'd be glad to take suggestions, if anyone has any. I've time to learn something new if it seems right.
