Thread Name: Why We Sing, Part III
Subject: He Washed My Eyes With Tears - Stanphill
I had the awesome opportunity just now to sing for a funeral-- a woman I dearly loved. First time. Oh my!

Afterwards, the family eagerly clutched the copies we'd made of the vintage gospel song that had been Lillian's favorite hymn; we gave it to them afterwards instead of suggesting a singalong, per the presiding clergyperson's sense of where they might be tonight in the grief process. We may have an MP3 to share with them as well, in the days ahead.
