His memorial service was the most wonderful, heartfelt celebration I'd ever attended. Rather than religious formalities, his family had opted for a homegrown service, with members of the family and friends telling Abe stories, sharing their memories and their love. Helane told the story of how they met and painted a loving picture of their years together. There wasn't a dry eye in the house including mine. What a relief to find a way to let go of the grief, floating it on the notes of a song inspired by the very man we were there to mourn.
Some people say that an ocean wave Is separate from the sea.
You're a part of me. But that's not what I believe. I can hear you singing every song Even as I grieve. And the music that we shared Sings forever somewhere. Some people say that the stars above Are nothing but some light.
