Well done my sister, well done, well done. Who said this yesterday

[rainy]

at CSK's funeral. I have gooled the words and can't find anything.

1. I'm thinking it was Maya Angelou

but I could be wrong.
Or maybe it was the Rev. who blasted Bush....

[orleans]

2. just a guess--maya angelou? sounds like something she would

say.

(but i don't know--i didn't see any of it--unfortunately)

[FrenchieCat]

3. Hope there is a replay that you can see.....

Most of it was just wonderful to watch and listen to! :hi:

[NJCher]

4. wasn't Angelou

I was just listening on AirAmerica and they played it. It was a male voice.

I can see why you asked about this. It was very touching.

It was Lowry.Lowry spoke those beautiful words in memory and celebration of Coretta.

17. Thank you so much, I paused it to get the text of the poem:

Dear God,
Just the other day, I thought I heard you say
Coretta my child come on home
You've earned your rest, your body weary
You've done your best
Her wittiness and character always strong
Her spirit of melody from heaven's song
Her beauty warm
Like the rays of the sun
Good night my sister, well done, well done....

[mdmc]

18. thanks for the words!

peace

13. I think it was Rev. Joseph Lowery

Describing C King he said something like this:

"Warm and beautiful like the sun,

Well done my sister, well done."

Very moving. I just loved watching it from start to finish.

[mdmc]

21. well done!

[WatchWhatISay]

15. Maya Angelou did talk about she and Coretta calling each other sister

Even after they were in thier 70's. But she may have said it in a TV interview or a eulogy, I don't remember for sure.

[mdmc]

20. I didn't get to see this great poet speak

anyone got a link? :kick:

[mdmc]

22. kick
