I read this at my father's funeral too, hardest thing I have ever done but I know he was proud of me. He said so when he asked to read the eulogy I had written when he was dying of cancer. It might seem morbid that he read the eulogy but the tears in his eyes told me all I needed to know.
I just buried my mom this afternoon and unbeknown to me, she had chosen this poem to go in the little remembrances. A friend sent me a sympathy card with this song and it has touched my heart and lifted me up.
I lost my mum to cancer in April this year after caring for her at my home for the last 6 months, This song was played at her funeral along with Time to say goodbye, both of course sang by Katherine Jenkins. Beautiful music and beautifuly sang
My best friend's mother (who was like a second mother to me) lost her fight with cancer a few short days ago. Today on the way to the funeral, this song came up on shuffle on my ipod. It was such a comfort, even though I still felt like crying when I heard it.
We were to sing this at our concert, but in the death of a fellow class mate, the constructor decided to remove it, I still think we should have sung it, however, as a remembrance of him. WE MISS YOU JOE F, GONE, BUT NEVER SHALL BE FORGOTTEN!!!

Very moving video!
Please check out my own version of this poem, sung by mezzo-soprano Herlinde Van den Bossche at my channel.

Woman and men of retiring timidity are cowardly only in dangers which affect themselves, but the first to rescue when others are in danger.

I believe this was written by a RAF Spitfire pilot during the Battle Of Britain. Quite beautiful.

My grandad passed away three days ago. He loved Katherine Jenkins and this is such a powerful song... I'm in tears listening to it.
I love you, Grandad and will never forget you.
