What a wonderful idea! I wish I had arranged that for my mother at the end. Ohh, she would have LOVED it. Her favorite hymn was "God Be With You...", and it was the last hymn sung at her funeral. It now has very special meaning to me, and I love it. I am sorry that you have to go through this; I know how much it hurts. *Hugs*
