Had to go to a funeral today. The choir sang for a long time member who, at 88, has passed away and was so dear to us all.
He had just been diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor last summer, so at his age I think he is in a better place now.
They played a recording of him doing the Panis Angelicus, which I had done with him as a duet. It was another lovely soprano signing it with him this time and not a dry eye in the crowd. Then the cantor did a religious song to the tune of Danny boy. The choir did John Stainer's , God So Loved The World.
All in all it was beautiful tribute to a wonderful man.
I am so sorry for your loss -- it sounds as if he had a life filled with love and beauty. It also sounds as if the services would have pleased him greatly.
