Memorial Day

Dedicated to those whose lives were lost, or forever changed due to the unspeakable tragedy on september 11, 2001. An epitaph on a headstone inspired this work... "Sleep sweet baby, take thy rest... God was watching, He knew best..." It is dedicated to loved ones who have passed through the world, and to their successors who do their best in this life.

Photographs by Denise Jordan Finley except for the ones which were downloaded royalty-free from the web. Many thanks to the wonderful, insightful photographers who generously allowed their royalty-free work to be viewed in this film. The song, "Memorial Day was written by Denise Jordan Finley, Some Island Publishing, copyright 2007. It is performed here by Denise Jordan Finley and Daniel Pagdon, who co-produced the video.

The music was recorded at Mark Dann Recording in Woodstock, New York.
