Thank you. You are beautiful too, even with green hair...

I am sorry to hear about this. The song list looks brilliant, and I am sure she would of been proud, especially from what I have heard, of your eulogy.

[eltonroo]

Thank you Chaz. She certainly loved music. I guess that's where I get it from.

Thank you Elgy. You can't go wrong with Nat King Cole.

What a lovely list! 'Unforgettable' is impossible not to love. :)

[eltonroo]

So true. Almost openned with that, but decided that "Smile" was perfect for my Mother. She wore a huge smile her entire life. And it is also a great song.
p.s. you will appreciate that I also got my Mother to love Billy Joel. Yes, she had a thing for piano men...

Aww, yay! I'm sure she appreciated you a lot for that, along with lots of other things that moms appreciate. *g*
