A good song for 'rememberance/memorial' dedications...

'There You'll Be'

When I think back
On these times
And the dreams
We left behind
I'll be glad 'cause
I was blessed to get
To have you in my life
When I look back
On these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me

[Chorus:]
In my dreams
I'll always see your soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There will always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you'll be

Well you showed me
How it feels
To feel the sky
Within my reach
And I always
Will remember all
The strength you
Gave to me
Your love made me
Make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

[Repeat chorus]

'Cause I always saw in you
My light, my strength
And I want to thank you
Now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right there for me
For always

[Repeat chorus]

Is that the song from Pearl Harbor? by Faith Hill, yes that would be a nice song, but I'm not sure I want to make everyone sad, on what should be a happy day..
We plan on doing a memorial candle for all our grandparents, well except for my granny she's still with us.. but we will just be saying a blessing and then light the candle..

I used Ave Maria to light a memorial candle for my brother. It was instrumental only and I thought it was a beautiful part of the ceremony. Not a dry eye in the church. But it wasn't people crazy crying. I think the song you picked is very pretty,the words are beautiful. I don't think I have heard it, but if it is what you like, then do it. You have to pick something you like, it is a very emotional part of the ceremony and having the perfect song in there makes it all the more special.

I am dancing with my brother to this song in dedication to our grandfather who has passed recently.
