I'll start ahead, I would like to dedicated in memory of Terri Schindler-Schiavo :hug:

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I’m found.
Was blind, but now I see.

’twas grace that taught my heart to feel
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

When we’ve been dead ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing god’s praise
Then when we first begun.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I’m found.
Was blind, but now I see.

(Song by LeAnn Rimes)
 
When I want to make a dedication to my love ones who passed away, these two songs come to mind: I would like to dedicate these songs to my loved ones who have passed away.

Kenny, Lynne, Nana, and Jeremy. You are deeply loved and missed by all who knew you.

One Sweet Day
Mariah Carey and Boys II Men

Sorry, I never told you, all I wanted to say.
Now it's too late to hold you. '
Cause you've flown away, so far away.

Never, Had I imagined, yeah, living without your smile.
Feelin' and knowing you hear me.
It keeps me alive. Alive!

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.

Picture a little scene from Heaven.

Darling, I never showed you.
Assumed you'd always be there.
I took your presence for granted.
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared.

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven.
Like so many friends we've lost along the way.
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.

Picture a little scene from Heaven.

Although, the sun will never shine the same, I'll
always look to a brighter day.

Yeah, Lord, I know, when I lay me down to sleep,
You'll always listen, as I pray!

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.

Sorry, I Never told you, all I wanted to say

Go Rest High On That Mountain
Vince Gill

I know your life
On earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain

Go rest high on that mountain
Son, you work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and Son

Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing

Go rest high on that mountain
Son, you work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and Son
 
This is dedicated to my grandfather, J.D. who died in December 1999. He was a WWII veteran, a deacon at his church, a youth minister, and a GREAT grandfather. :) He's very much missed by all of us. -- Nancy

"Golden Streets"
by singer Charles Billingsley

I've just dicovered life here is easy
The hard work is over when hearts stop their beating
My moment is done, I've run out of time
But I want you to know, I'm just fine
I am thankful for His grace
It's because of His love that I'm in this place

CHORUS
Now I'm walking golden streets
I'm splashing in the crystal sea
I've watched a lion kiss the lamb
And I've been held by his nail-scarred hands
I've seen the Father and His glorious throne
I can't believe I'm calling heaven home
Don't you worry, don't you weep for me
'Cause I'm walking, walking golden streets

Rubies and diamonds don't mean a thing
All of their beauty is under my feet
Sapphires and pearls scattered around
They don't compare to the beautiful sound
Of angels singing praise to my Lord
And I will be listening forevermore

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I'm more at peace now than I've ever been
I spend my days just praising Him
I've reaped the blessings of a faithful life
There's no way to describe
Jesus by my side...

CHORUS
 
This is dedicated to my Grandpa Gordon who passed away years ago from commit suicide. He will be dearly missed forever. ;)

Time, sometimes the time just slips away
And your left with yesterday
Left with the memories
I, I’ll always think of you and smile
And be happy for the time
I had you with me
Though we go our seperate ways
I won’t forget so don’t forget
The memories we made

Please remember, please remember
I was there for you
And you were there for me
Please remember, our time together
The time was yours and mine
While we were wild and free
Please remember, please remember me

Goodbye, there’s just no sadder word to say
And it’s sad to walk away
With just the memories
Who’s to know what might have been
We’ll leave behind a life and time
We’ll never know again

Please remember, please remember
I was there for you
And you were there for me
And remember, please remember me

Please remember, please remember
I was there for you
And you were there for me
Please remember, our time together
The time was yours and mine
While we were wild and free
Then remember, please remember me
 
Beautiful by Amy Grant

I'm lookin for a way to feel you hold me
Feel your heartbeat just one more time
Reaching back, trying to touch the moment
Each precious moment that you were mine

How do you prepare when you love someone this way
To let them go a little more each day

The stars we put in place
The dreams we didn't waste
The sorrows we embraced
The world belonged to you and me
The oceans that we crossed
The innocense we lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again
Cuz it was beautiful
It was beautiful

So this is missing you is overwhelming
When it hits me
You're not coming back
And in my darkest hours I have wondered
Was it worth it, for the time we had
My thoughts begun to hear you
But one thing I know is true
I'll bless the day that I found you

The stars we put in place
The dreams we didn't waste
The sorrows we embraced
The world belonged to you and me
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again
Cuz it was beautiful
It was beautiful

The rules we stepped aside
The fear that we defied
The thrill of the ride
The fire in our hearts that burned
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again
Cuz it was beautiful
It was beautiful
 
Never Alone
by Rodney Belcher
I feel you in the morning
When at first I awake
Your thought is with me
With each decision I make

You'd been around forever
Since the first breath I took
Now I have to go on alone
But for love, I need not look

Cause by what you bestowed
In our short time together
Will last in my heart
Forever and ever

Although you've left
And now walk above
I'm never alone
I'm wrapped in your love

Enjoy now your long waited reward
Feel peace that your love continues on
What was taught to me, will be taught to mine
Cause you live on in me even after you've gone
 
Dedicated to my aunt, who has lost 2 children

Dear Mommy,

Please don't be so sad,
I miss you so much, too.
It's beautiful here where I am
But I worry a lot about you.

I sleep with angels watching me,
There's only love up here...
I'm never lonely or afraid,
'Cause God's so very near.

I walk with Jesus every day
He's very kind and sweet.
Don't worry mom; He holds my hand
When we cross a golden street.

I never cry or hurt myself
I see Grandma everyday...
I play and laugh and sing a lot
And I hear you when you pray.

Please mommy, don't be mad at God
You see, He loves me too,
And even though you're not with me
I'm really still with you.

Only a Moment

How quietly she
tiptoed into our world.
Softly, only a moment
she stayed
but what an imprint
her footprints have left
upon our hearts.
 
I wrote this when I felt I was disowned by someone I truely cared about but now it is kinda in memory of everyone and everything I have lost over the years... :(

-For Keeps- (AKA: Remember)

Nothing I can do will keep you here
No matter how much I plea and beg

I need you more than anything
Why do you have to go?

Everything good that happens to me leaves
Whether it be you or anything else

I am trying to tell myself that you are gone
But I can't seem to do it

You are all I think about right now
I hurt you; I know this is my fault

I belong to you; my soul is yours to keep
For I know you will take care of it always

There is nothing I want more than for you to stay
You are here now, but you are gone too

Somebody take me away from here
The tears are falling so freely, and I am lost again

One day with you is all I want
Just a chance to tell you everything

You were there to pick me up when I fell
No person was ever there like you were

Nobody can replace you, nobody
You are one of a kind

Though in not the way you may think, I love you
You mean the world to me for a million reasons

I wish you would just leave now
Leave like everyone else I love does

So much I fear that this is my fault, I almost know it
Maybe if I didn't... Maybe...

I can't do this anymore, I, I am giving up
And so I fall, and this time there is nobody there to pick me up

Crying all alone again, I knew this would happen
I knew you would leave

I don't blame you at all, maybe it is best
Just know how much you did for me

You will always be one I look up to
Always mean so much to me

Nothing can help what I have done again
I am so sorry to break my promise

I broke my word to you
But I was just so hurt

The scars you erased have been re-written
I wish I didn't have to make them deeper

The deepened scars feel so good
But if only for a moment

You set me free, and it felt so good
But I have been broken again

The scars are me now
I feel like nothing again

I would do anything to be OK again
Anything to keep you here

I don't want you for myself, for I am not that selfish
I just want to know you are around, there somewhere

I wish the world for you
Go and find someplace better than this

Everything you do is amazing
You deserve so much more than what you get

Keep my soul and please, just leave now
For I can't take it anymore

You will always mean the world to me
And I will miss you always

Just don't forget me or any of our past... please...
