Some years ago I wrote these words to be spoken at my funeral.
Others have asked to use them when speaking for their loved ones.
They seem to be relevant for both young and old.

If they give you comfort, please, feel free to use them.


When my life is done
And my spirit's at rest
And there's nothing on earth that can save me
Don't weep and don't mourn
Send me off with a song
And reflect on the pleasure that knowing you gave me
