So often now when I hear that someone has passed away peacefully in his or her sleep, I begin to recall the words composed as a vocal accompaniment to the 2nd Movement of Antonin Dvorak's 9th Symphony in E Minor " From the New World" 

GOING HOME
 
Going home, going home
I am going home
Quiet like, some still day
I am going home
 
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Never fear no more

Mother's there expecting me
Father's waiting too
Lots of faces gathered there
All the friends I knew
 
I'm just going home
No more fear, no more pain
No more stumbling by the way
No more longing for the day
Going to run no more

Morning star light the way
Restless dreams all gone
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life has begun

There's no break, there's no end
Just living on
Wide awake, with a smile
Going on and on, going on and on

Going home, going home
I am going home
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life has begun
I'm just going home

Thank you, Larry. Beautiful and touching.

Larry, Dvorak's 9th From The New World was my late wife's favorite symphony. I had no idea this accompaniment existed. So appropriate. THANK YOU! It's stuff like this that makes this board the great place it is.

Your wife certainly knew her music. Sorry for your loss, Allan.
