Funerals In Song

by gaetano bonfante

Dear Gaetano,
From the moment we connected, I knew mum’s farewell would be special. It was such a relief to be able to rely on you to coordinate all the music and musicians. Nothing was too much trouble for you. On the day of the ceremony, I walked into the church distraught at having to say a final goodbye to my beautiful mother. As soon as you started to sing, I felt a calmness never experienced before. I also felt incredible joy, as I knew that mum was happy and safe. The day I dreaded turned out to be beautiful, because of you. I am forever grateful.

Dear Gaetano,
My mother, my sisters and myself want to thank you for the beautiful way you sang for us today. Every single person complimented or commented on your singing. I think above all else, my father would have been overjoyed to know that it was you singing at his funeral. In a strange way I feel like it was dad who actually steered you towards us...
