Lainey,

So sorry to hear of your loss, but pleased that you want to commeorate your Dad.

How about choosing something from the music he enjoyed or the soundtrack or theme from one of his favouriite films, or perhaps something connected with his occupation ie military or colliery bands...just have a think and whatever you decide I am sure he will be pleased with. Take Care

Hi Lainey

How about Oh my Pappa it was played by Eddie Calvert on his golden trumpet in a film, sorry can't remember name. I also think that Jimmy Young made a recording of it when words were added. Long time ago but maybe if you google.

PS We used it when my dad died in 1981.

((((HUGS)))) and XXX for you all.

Frances xx

Some of you may know that my Dad died Sunday night/Monday morning. Now I do not want this to be a sad thread please, but I do need your help. We have already chosen the music for dad when he enters the crem but still have not made up our minds about the music as we leave. My Dad was a wonderful father to his 2 natural children and his 5 step-children. We all knew him as Dad and there was no difference. So we need a song to honour him as the best father. Can anyone suggest a great song about Dad's that might be suitable. As I cannot think of anything at the moment.

Many thanks Lainey x
