Today, as Verger, I attended a funeral service in our small 12th century English church, in our small English village.

At the deceased's request, as the coffin departed after the service, the Church sound system played Jim singing 'Adios Amigo'.

He may not have been English, but he will always have a special place in England.

How touching, Martin!

As we buried my husband Jim sang "Precious Memories". After 63 years together, there were lots of them!

May the deceased RIP.
Doris

Amen!

Hi Martin and Doris,
I sang I Love You Because two weeks ago at a funeral
and 4 years ago He'll Have To Go at Gilbert O'Sulivan's (Well known uk singer)dads funeral.
Your Elmer was a gentleman.Found memories live forever and to sing or be played at such an occasion is indeed a privilege and honor. There are many funeral's in England where Jim's music is played,as my friend always says, his voice hits right at the soul.

These are very special comments and memories. JR's music has deep resonance with faith. It reaches deep inside and touches ones soul.

It's wonderful that we share Jim's music when comfort is most needed. My mother loved her flowers and she was blessed with a "green thumb." At her funeral I selected Jim's hymn In The Garden which fit the atmosphere perfectly.
