helwenToday we gathered,
This beautiful sunny day
To sing and speak words
Of praise, love, strength, and laughter
Farewell friend, fly with angels.
*****
There were words from several family members, singing by family and friends, including some members of Concentus. Our group sang Dona Nobis Pacem, which was all right, if a little strained in places, and then we sang Pange Melos Lacrimosum for the first time in public, and performed that beautifully. I think the first song helped open tight throats. I'm glad we could sing as the family wished, but I sure hope we don't have to do this again any time soon.
