I'm thinking I'd like to make a contribution at the funeral - one thought was a song of farewell. Any suggestions of any suitable songs? Thanks Steve |

(On CD by Kilkenny Krew) chorus: Until we meet again my trusted friend I just want to tell you how good it has been There's a place in my heart that's always there for you And I hope it won't be long until we meet again |

We sang four songs, probably none of which would be appropriate but not knowing your late friend I couldn't really say: "In the Garden" (hymn; congregational participation encouraged) "Eagle when she flies" (Dolly Parton) "The Great Storm Is Over" (Bob Franke) "Now is the hour" (aka Maori Farewell Song) My wife's choices.
