Sandy Paton Funeral Tunes, songs that heal (150* d) RE: Funeral Tunes, songs that heal 18 May 00


Gordon Bok's "Turning Toward the Morning" has helped us on such occasions. It reminds the survivors that life does go on, and they're the ones that need the message, I think.

Lisa Null sang "Only Remembered" at our memorial gathering on Sunday. Liam's brother's wife, Bonnie, sang "'Tis Our Sailing Time." Mary LaMarca, with Kathy Westra and others, sang the beautiful "Sleep On, Beloved" (the Sankey tune), followed immediately by Riki Schneyer doing the Bahamian version: "I Bid You Goodnight." Joan Sprung sang "Who Will Come and Sing for Me?" and Karen K. led us all with her long-time favorite, "Bound for the Land of Canaan." I'd like to list all the singers and their songs, but we were singing for over four hours, and let me tell you, folks, the harmonies that filled that room were glorious! Wish you all could have been there to help us send my business partner and friend, Lee Haggerty, to his rest with such singing.

I guess you'll find a few ideas there.
