That He would give us a "head's up" is such a mercy, I think. We have a very large family and extended family. So many of us have been led to the Throne of Grace by Mama. It means so much to me to know that so many of you are praying for our family. My oldest brother is also fighting for his life in California. Please, would you pray for him too? His name is Tommy.

Veda is so blessed to be surrounded by family and friends at this oh-so-important time of her life. She gave the Composer a gift by giving him something now that he can DO. You, too, have something to do by being such a comfort to your friend.

She has a wonderful family - one that I've often (only half jokingly) said I'd like to be adopted into, and one that teaches what a loving, Godly family is through their every day words and actions. It amazes me how many lives this one woman has touched. Your Composer has a kind heart.Tanya@EverAfterCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15220795936809569835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-76513764762002329652011-11-16T13:38:44.898-06:002011-11-16T13:38:44.898-06:00Beautiful, sorrowful, and a big Amen.

At her funeral we had 'In Paradisum' from Faure's requiem. I would urge people to find it on You Tube or wherever and listen, it's very beautiful, uplifting and soothing. It's normally played as the coffin is removed from the church as part of the Catholic requiem mass, but we chose it for the opening and finished with Handel's joyful 'Spring is Coming' which my mother used to sing. Faure said of his requiem the following:<br /><br />"It has been said that my Requiem does not express the fear of death and someone has called it a lullaby of death. But it is thus that I see death: as a happy deliverance, an aspiration towards happiness above, rather than as a painful experience."<br /><br />God bless Veda on her journey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-18323373921817155602011-11-16T12:00:09.681-06:002011-11-16T12:00:09.681-06:00Thank you for sharing this.
