Imagining a Funeral

it’s just impossible

I asked my mother a week before she died what she’d imagined for her funeral.

What she’d imagined was this:

“I’d like Sally Vines to play that Beatles’ song, “Imagine,” on her saxophone for my service.”

I didn’t say, “Well technically it’s a John Lennon song, from his third or fourth post-Beatles album.”
