The title of this cd was suggested by Jim Titus of Radio Station WJEJ in Hagerstown, Md. It was to be given to my husband, Arthur, on his 87th birthday, December 21st. As fate would have it, instead of presenting him the cd on his birthday, we gathered at the small church just minutes from our home to celebrate his life and passing.

It was an inspiring and uplifting service with each of the children speaking, expressing their admiration and love for the remarkable man that was, and will always be, the love of my life. The powerful presence of an Honor Guard, recognizing his service to the country he so loved, was beautifully finalized by a trumpet player with an unforgettable rendition of Taps.

Since Arthurís greatest joy in life was hearing his three girls sing, we ended the service with our version of Danny Boy, one of Arthurís favorite songs. It is kismet that the selection of songs on this cd were some of his all time favorites, and each one unwittingly expresses our feelings for a truly great man. The Lord works in mysterious ways, and although this cd certainly was not intended to be a memorial, it has transformed itself into a testament of love, admiration and mourning for the extraordinary Arthur Gray Jr.
