Reflections on Life

Hymn: "Spirit of Life" - Carolyn McDade

Spirit of Life, come unto me
Sing in my heart
All the stirrings of compassion
Blow in the wind, rise in the sea,
Move in the hand, giving life the shape of justice.
Roots hold me close, wings set me free;
Spirit of Life, come to me, come to me.

Reading: read by Elaine Roberts

Eulogy: Christopher Durham

Rose Ceremony
music: Moon River - Mancini & Mercer - sung by Andy Williams

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end - waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.
