April 15, 1942 - August 15, 1998
Fifteen. I can't believe it has been fifteen years since my Dad passed away suddenly. It still seems like it was just yesterday. Our lives have moved on without you. You have missed so many important parts of our lives. We know you were there in spirit. We always think about you. And you are loved and missed.
Below is one of the songs we sang at my Dad's funeral. When it is sung at Mass occasionally during the year, I always think of him and that day.
We Remember
We remember how you loved us to Your death,
And still we celebrate for You are with us her.
And we believe that we will see You when you come in Your glory, Lord.
We remember, we celebrate, we believe!
Here, a million wounded souls
Are yearning just to touch you and be healed;
Gather all your people, and hold them to your heart.
We remember how you loved us to Your death,
And still we celebrate for You are with us her.
And we believe that we will see You when you come in Your glory, Lord.
We remember, we celebrate, we believe!
Now we recreate your love,
We bring the bread and wine to share a meal;
Sign of grace and mercy, the Presence of the Lord.
We remember how you loved us to Your death,
And still we celebrate for You are with us her.
And we believe that we will see You when you come in Your glory, Lord.
We remember, we celebrate, we believe!
Christ, the Father's great "Amen"
To all the hopes and dreams of every heart;
Peace beyond all telling, and freedom from all fear.
We remember how you loved us to Your death,
And still we celebrate for You are with us her.
And we believe that we will see You when you come in Your glory, Lord.
We remember, we celebrate, we believe!
See the face of Christ revealed in every person standing by your side.
Gift to one another and temples of Your love.
