My Wife's Uncle was killed recently in a tragic cycling accident whilst on holiday in the UK. He was cruelly taken away from his family at a time when his life was nearing the early retirement phase.
At 55 he had so much to live for, he was visiting a seaside resort where he had just purchased a holiday cottage with his wife to be near their closest friends in their retirement years.
I was asked to put together a slideshow for the funeral and although I never used this track from Lionel Richie, I think it really conveys a sense of peace and closure and a strong feeling that if the husband or wife could ever pass on a last message, I'm sure it would have similar wording to express their feelings.
It is a very touching and emotional track, the words have so much strength in meaning.
Another Track I also find so appropriate for someone that has lost a wonderful Dad is 'Dance with my Father' by Luther Vandross.
Although it is so very sad for anyone who has to visit these pages for help after losing a loved one, I found it very helpful.
Thank you to all previous contributors.

Lyrics for "Goodbye" by Lionel Richie I wanted you for life You and me In the wind I never thought there come a time That our story would end It's hard to understand But I guess I'll have to try It's not easy To say goodbye.
For all the joy we shared All that time we had to spend Now if I had one wish I'd want forever back again To look into your eyes And hold you when you cry It's not easy To say goodbye
I can remember all those great times we had There were so many memories, some good some bad Yes and through it all Those memories will last Forever
There's peace in where you are May be all I need to know And if I listen to my heart I'll hear your laughter once more And so I got to say I'm just glad you came my way It's not easy to say Goodbye
