I’m going to leave the house now for Nadine’s funeral service. I don’t know who will be around but I’m sure many of you are too far away to attend. But you can take part anyway: I want to offer you a pdf-download with the songs (linked to YouTube) that will be played and the text of the speech I wrote.
As I expect the situation to be way too emotional for me, Nadine’s cousin Daniel is going to read it. During the third song we will leave the hall and walk Nadine’s urn towards her tree. There, her favourite song will be played and one of her paintings from art therapy will be shown. May her honorable character and the light of her steadfast love always shine to us from the roots of her hemlock.
