FUNERAL SONG - LIVIN WITHOUT YOU

http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/SteveAlekPeterNunn This funeral song, entitled "Livin Without You" was conceived by Steve Alek in
early 2008 during a very difficult personal time for his family.
Steve's mother-in-law, Marilyn Maxey, had just been diagnosed with
terminal cancer and was given between 2 weeks and 6 months to live.
Steve was very close to his mother-in-law and, he was inspired and determined to create a song to give to
family and friends as a tribute to her life.

With Marilyn's imminent death fast approaching, Steve called his good
friend, Peter Nunn, a seasoned piano player who has performed with
Grammy-award-winning singers, and asked for his help. They exchanged
emails back and forth to mold and edit Steve's words into song form.
Peter then took what they had and built the song based upon the catchy
4-note melody Steve had initially sung to him over the phone.

Peter mentioned the project to Atilla Turi of Mainway Studios,
Burlington, ON, who suggested Peter ask their friend, Al Langlade, to
sing the song. Peter emailed Al in Thunder Bay, ON and Al answered
that he'd be happy to help out. So, Peter emailed his piano track to
Al along with the lyrics.

Within 4 hours, Al sent back a beautiful vocal rendition of the song,
mixed with Peter's piano track. Al and Peter both expected this was
just the beginning of their cyber-collaboration and that they'd be
sending files back and forth until they had a polished song ready for
Steve. To keep Steve in the loop, Peter sent him the rough demo. Steve
surprised both Al and Peter by saying he thought the song was just
perfect the way it was.

Sadly missed, Marilyn passed away on Valentine's Day, 2008. The song
was conceived, written, recorded and published on CD in the course of
a few days, just in time for distribution at the funeral.

Her spirit lives on: "Funeral Song - Livin Without You" was posted on
YouTube shortly after her funeral and surpassed half a million YouTube
views in the Spring of 2010. It continues to touch the hearts of
thousands of new viewers every day.

My dearest wife passed on Dec 5th and half a soul and half a man writes this to let her know how much has gone out of my life.

She was a great and beautiful part of my life that now seems dark untill once more i can hold her in heaven.

If you know someone with an alcohol problem or you have one get help please!!!!!!.

On the 4th after years of saying "I will stop,this will be the last time i drink,i promise".it was.

6/15/52 to 12/5/11 "Rest in peace my love till i see you again in heaven"

This song reminds me of my daughter Casey. She was 17 years old when she passed away. She was one of the most beautiful people Ive ever had the pleasure of knowing and loving. She was and will always be the most courageous people I ever knew.She had Muscular Dystrophy but it never had her.She will always be my hero.She always had a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes, and a kind word for almost everyone.She was inspiring and defied the odds. Run in Paradise Casey 4/8/92-3/18/10 we <3 you

R.I.P Kent Lee

(Mom's Fiance) they were engaged

Kent, when my mother and father got divorced back in 6th grade it ruined my life. Our family life at home was nothing. I couldn't stand to even look at my mother. You brought our family together. You were an amazing cook and the coolest person in my life. It breaks my heart to know that it will be awhile before I will see you again. You were amazing and treated my mother like a princess. I hope you are enjoying yourself buddy, take care.
