Sarah Aaron Bromley: words in memory of her father Dr. Phil

Sarah Aaron Bromley read a poem about choices as she remembered her Dad, Dr. Phil Aaron.

"You can shed tears that he is gone, or you can smile because he has lived.

"You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all he has left.


"Your heart can be empty because you can't see him, or it can be full of the love you shared.

"You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow, because of yesterday.

"You can remember him and only the fact he's gone, or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.

"You can cry, and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what he'd want, smile, open your eyes, love and go on."

Sarah's daughter, Emma Jane Aaron Bromley sang Amazing Grace as her aunt Jane Aaron played piano and when her voice faltered the congregation joined in to complete the song.

Her son, Aaron Rayford Bromley, lead the Lord's prayer.
