Thanks. I wasn't going to refresh this but since you did, here is the song devon (professionally she goes by that, small d) sang at the burial:

Goin' Out (By Sarah Harmer)

When the days close on
The memories you've acquired
And your body cannot hold
Your soul's fire
You are here and not alone
Everybody has come home
There's a bed made up upstairs
If you get tired

All the heaviness around you
Will get light
And your worries lifted up
Into the night
Left with nothing but pure love
Wrapped in all we are made of
Can I stay around a while,
Is that alright

Oh, our lives don't end
Goin' out to be brought back again

I really liked her singing, I hadn't realized she was famous.

And in other news, I found out that they did indeed donate Dorian's organs, which I was very happy (if that's the right word) to hear. Gruesome little coincidence story: I got home from teaching Weds night, and one of the boys' (and Dorian's) aunts had been babysitting with her 13-yo son, so of course we fell to chatting, so of course we talked about Dorian. This is how I found out about the organ donation. I was kind of crying and said something similar to, I like to think that somebody has her eyes, at which point 13yo squirmed... so I turned on the TV (to change the subject!) and saw... a disembodied eye being fingered by somebody! I'd gotten into some forensics something at EXACTLY the right/wrong time, or something! All three of us squirmed then, but it was funny.
