My 81yr old Grandad just passed away from Lymphoma at 2:30 this morning - it's been a grueling situation these last 5 days watching him suffer.

It was very devastating, as he's always been a VERY healthy man, and up until 3 weeks ago, no one ever even knew, including himself, that he was literally full of cancer. It was everywhere.

This is a man who served in WWII, worked the Rio Grande, worked for Martin Mareatta, and Rocky Flats, and assisted in the building of the Tell-star Satelite dish in space.

He is survived by my Grandma, with whom they just recently celebrated their 59th anniversary. Grandma had one request for me, and I need some help in locating these particular songs that she's looking for.

1. Walk thru this world with me

2. Beautiful Isle of somewhere

I was able to find the others that she wants played at the service; but if anyone knows who sings the two above songs it would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Ramblin - I'm sorry for your loss. I'll see what I can find for you. If you have any more words from the songs that would help.

Here are the words for the first one, and I'll try to scare up a link for the music, too. 2nd one to follow:


WALK THROUGH THIS WORLD WITH ME
(Written by Kay Savage / Sandra Seamons)
George Jones


Walk through this world with me
Go where I go
Share all the dreams with me
I need you so

In life we search
And some of us find
I've looked for you
A long, long time

And now that I've found you
New horizions I see
Come take my hand and
Walk through this world with me

Walk through this world with me
Go where I go
Share all the dreams with me
I've searched for you so

And now that I've found you
New horizions I see
Come take my hand and
Walk through this world with me

Come take my hand and
Walk through this world with me

here's a link to the 2nd...http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/b/e/beautisl.htm

Sorry for your loss Ramblin.

I will also see what I can find when I get home (slaving away at work right now :shakehead ) if someone hasnt already found the songs by then.

Wow, you guys are a great bunch!

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Ramblin - I was able to download the 1st song. Be happy to send it to you email or whatever. It's a George Jones song and I got it from Limewire if you want to log on there and get it faster.

Again, I'm sorry for your loss. My dad would have been 86 this year, was in WWII, etc., but went quickly with his 4th heart attack about 12 years ago. The cause? He was cranking on an old tractor...one of his great loves. It was unexpected, but relatively quick. Not the way I'd have preferred, but sometimes we don't always get what we want and I know he passed doing something he enjoyed. Lost my mom about 18 mos ago to a very long term illness. Not EVER the way she wanted to go. I know your loss was sudden and unexpected, but just from experience, quicker is better...may it please God that I go the way my father did. And just think, my dad and your grandpa are probably swaping lies about the war right now!

God bless and let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

Very sorry for your loss Rambin. It looks like your Grandad lived a great life. Excellent work LXA!

Joel

LXA - you're a great man, I can't thank you enough.

Was able to log onto Limewire and get the George Jones song. You know I can remember hearing them play that song over and over, but I'd forgotten about it being one of their favorites.

You know there's nothing as powerful as those older country songs; Grandpa loved George Jones, and numerous other singers, and I always loved going over there and listening to his records.

I know he's got this song on an album, but the last thing Grandma needs is for us to start cycling through his stuff, so I'm glad you were able to find it.

I also have the link to the Beautiful Isle; again thank you. Both songs brought back a LOT of memories as it's been quite some time since I've heard them being played.

Ramblin - it was my pleasure to help. You've given a lot to this board and I've learned much from you and all the other regulars. A few minutes of my time was just a very small payback for what you and the rest have given. Now, just do me a favor and make sure when it's my time, you all get a big 'ol keg, celebrate life and have fun! Oh yeah, and for now, dig out all of your grandma's albums and bring back those memories! But be careful, those dang things can be worth some serious money on Ebay. LOL

And thanks to you also, Joel. I appreciate the kind words.

:1: LXA, great work!

sorry for your loss Rambin

Solid work LXA.

Ramblin,

Did you find an mp3 for the beautiful isle or just the midi and lyrics?

There are a couple on emusic.com and they have a free trial if you want an mp3. I found a few places with it that you can buy and d/l the song pretty cheap using google, didnt find any other free ones.
