I work as a wood worker, and mechanic in Montana. To express our love, grief and prayers for your loss, I wrote this song I hope might be of comfort. Yesterday I sang it at Pilgrim Congregational Church in Bozeman, Montana and the congregation sang the chorus. It was heart felt as we sent our prayers. This is that recording along with the original recording of the song. I hope it can be of comfort to others. You are welcome to make copies of this CD or words and share them if you feel it appropriate with families, students or however would be the best use. Feel free to contact me anytime if I can be of help. I have already sent an e-mail with the word attachment. Thank you for your time and help. Our prayers are with you...
