Outside of card (the double-sided paper was folded):
Dad heard a song of Phil Ochs around the time of listening to other folk artists such as Joan Baez and Ian and Sylvia in the mid 1960s. He identified it as written brilliantly Bob Dylan-style, and instinctively purchased his album “Pleasures of the Harbour”. Upon first listen, Dad was not disappointed and loved every song, including the title track. The picture and song quote were at Dad’s request.
The back of the folded paper was the poem “Death is Nothing At All”. Dad recorded this poem around 2021 for a future funeral, and the recording was played at the service.
Inside of card (the double-sided paper was folded):
Dad provided a guide for the Order of Service for the Celebration of Life program, and we included his requested prelude/postlude songs, one of his favourite songs, a recorded poem, a song dedicated to Mom, and a recorded selection to conclude. The rest of the program organically developed as we went through his personal writings, collection of final thoughts, and reached out to his closest friends.
