I'm not really sure, but if I were to die tomorrow I know I would want me best friend (she has a beautiful voice) to sing whatever song reminds her of me. I have always loved Sarah McLachlan's I Will Remember You. And I remembered this poem I really liked. A Hopi Prayer by Mary E. Frye Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet white doves in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die. -------------------- Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson If you judge people you have no time to love them. ~Mother Teresa Help Out

Waren Zevon-Keep me in your heart Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath Keep me in your heart for awhile If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less Keep me in your heart for awhile When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun Keep me in your heart for while There's a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done Keep me in your heart for while Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo Keep me in your heart for while Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo Keep me in your heart for while Sometimes when you're doing simple things around the house Maybe you'll think of me and smile You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse Keep me in your heart for while Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams Touch me as I fall into view When the winter comes keep the fires lit And I will be right next to you Engine driver's headed north to Pleasant Stream Keep me in your heart for while These wheels keep turning but they're running out of steam Keep me in your heart for while Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo Keep me in your heart for while Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo Keep me in your heart for while Keep me in your heart for while I saw the light may the circle be unbroken amazing grace and Stairway to heaven(may seem odd but it was oen fo teh songs we played at sean's funeral.) -------------------- 'Dying for being different is still better than living as a Sheep'-anon

If that fails, throw in some pipers, a little Barleyjuice, a lot of Guinness, MacLellan's 18 year whisky, and some Drambuie.

I was just wondering...

My list:

"Amazing Grace" (played by a bagpiper)
"Highland Cathedral" (see above)
"Largo (Going Home)" from Dvorak's symphony The New World
"On Eagles' Wings"
"How Great Thou Art"
"Nearer My God To Thee"

Brother Mike's list works for me (though in addition to the music I've requested a friend of mine, if he out lasts me, to attach a "I'd rather be sailing" bumper sticker to my coffin and replace the word sailing with the word breathing
