Shepherd Funeral Home Kingston Ma My 27 Year Old Son Died Yesterday, And I Need Songs For His Funeral.?

My 27 year old son died yesterday, and I need songs for his funeral.? - shepherd funeral home kingston ma

My beautiful son died in his sleep yesterday. Planned. He fought against cancer for over 3 years. He was kind and gentle, and will be missed by all he knew.

He had two beautiful children and wife. His wife helps me, and so far we are trapped. We are playing with "The Lord is my shepherd" when it buried, but we have about 3-4 songs for the service of the pop king.

Until now we have a little bit, but they are "best of" it is not yet defined:

1. Toni Childs - I gotta go.
2. As I Lay Me Down - Sophie B. Hawkins.
3. What's Up - 4 Non Blondes.

The three songs, their favorite. Please tell me your thoughts on the reproduction of them, and offer a little more. The service is 2 days.

Sincere condolences to you and your family lose a son, and his young family for the loss of a husband and father.

When these children were your favorite songs to be played during the service.

The only pop song I could think of to play like a sad, is Delta Goodrem, carried a young cancer survivor. The text of this song he wrote is beautiful, that's the song.

Last Night On Earth Delta Goodrem

I'm sorry. I could not recommend a song .. But I suggest a beautiful poem titled "Go Down Death" by James Weldon Johnson. You can replace the names of sisters and their children. It is a popular type of poem - be no rhyme or soft. You can search for "Internet and take a look. Could be a nice change of music and definitely fill a room.

May God bless you and keep you and your family.

Sorry for your loss. Must be a terrible feeling to lose a child, I can not begin at all, the pain you can imagine.

I think these three, as I Lay Me Down is the best option. Ut is about death, and because of their proximity to death is no obstacle. I do not recommend the other two, however.

Other songs that are good are:
1. One Sweet Day - Mariah Carey / Boyz 2 Men
2. You Raise Me Up - Westlife.
3. Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton.

"I'm sorry for your loss, it is now a better place.

I Be Missing You (Puff Daddy, Faith Evans) is a good song, in this case, but perhaps not a lament. Perhaps the Winter by Joshua Radin.

2pac life goes by ISA song well, but an elegy.
