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.
