My sister has asked me to sing at her husband's funeral. I knew Brian all my life as he was a friend of my elder brother . When my brother died in an accident when I was three, Brian assumed the role of big brother and we have been good friends for nearly 60 years. I was bridesmaid at their wedding nearly 54 years ago. This is going to be so hard to do.

A difficult day but one you both will remember ....Hugs to you and yours x0x0x0

I am glad you were able to do this for your sister. You will never regret being there for family.

I love the message of the song; just beautiful! I am also glad all went well, and I know the song has great meaning for your sister! Bless you both!

I dont know if i would be brave enough to do this more power to you girl the words are beautiful made me tingle all over................soozie

Thank you all for your positive thoughts. I managed to do it - I would have hated to let my sister down. I could see her singing quietly along with me.
Here is the song if you are interested.

The Call and The Answer
You called and I ran wild as the wind
Which blows across the moor
All we needed is each other
Like the eagle we will soar.

You and I we're like two rivers
Run and fall down to the sea
When we meet we're lost forever
Lost forever you and me

You are the call I am the answer
You are the wish and I am the way
You the music, I the dancer
You are the night and I am the day
You are the night and I am the day.

Lay your head upon my shoulder
Let your heart beat close to mine
There's no past and no tomorrow
Two hearts lost in space and time.

I know your sister will always remember your heartfelt singing....God always gives us the strength we need.

Sue I know you will be able to do it with great honour. Thinking of you in this difficult times

Sue, I am so sorry for yur loss - I will be praying for you during this time - I know that if you feel the lord is guiding you - perhaps you will know he is in control - if you allow him - sing your praises to him. You will honor your BIL and sister, well.

my deepest condolences to you and your sister. I pray that the Lord will help you find that inner strength to use your beautiful voice to honor your brother in-law. Blessings to you and your family.

Oh, how tough a task! My deepest sympathy to you and your sister! May the Lord help you focus on the the sweeter moments you remember, rather than grief, at the time you are singing. It will be most difficult, but HE will give you strength! May His blessings lift you up!

My thoughts and prayers will be with you. Hugs and *'s during this tough time.

I will pray for God to give you that inner strength you need to do this for your sister. It will be hard but, you will know that you have done all you can.

Sue thinking of you and have sent a email to you
