C. J.,
Peace Be Upon You!
Om mani pad-me hum!
My mind goes back to that sunny day when my sister Barbara Ann is driving us down Main Avenue through West Scranton going somewhere. As we rolled along, I remember your vivid descriptions of your favorite concerts and the bands you liked — music we shared — feeling the energy and message in the moment — imprinting our souls! And that's the key! Your enthusiasm for music meant you intrinsically knew that music is food for the soul. I imagine this energy helps guide you now further on your spiritual journey!
Your Memorial Video conveys the genuine warmth and laughter of your friends and family! You filled the miles with many smiles!
As the radio once again plays that song from the Sixties, that song you surely know, that song whose sound waves accompany lyrics which express an immense sentiment —
SPIRIT IN THE SKY
by Norman Greenbaum
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
Gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best
Never been a sinner I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up with
The spirit in the sky
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best
