A sad occasion that brings us together here today, but rather than dwell on our loss, lets begin our time with the Peterson family sharing with us some of their fondest memories of Jeff Martin Paterson….Jill…. (motions for mother-Jill to come forward, she approaches and Steve goes to sit down) Last lines of the script: S: Jeff had a positive affect on all our lives and because I knew him personally I can tell you with integrity he was not only a fine husband and father but a role model to all who knew him. I know his faith was important to him and gave him strength and peace in his final days. Lets take a couple of minutes to reflect on what we admired about Jeff, and those colleagues and friends wanting to share will have an opportunity afterwards (bows his head, lights fade) THE END

Stage Setting Specials Props Key – Swing, coat stand, umbrella, Door-possibly (?) Dancers: Allan & Hiria 1st lines of lyrics: From the first breath of her life She flew straight into my arms I used to catch her from the swings When she was five... And now she dances on the wind In a world as hard as stone She's so anxious to begin And ready to fly... Last lines of lyrics (how song ends) And she walks with me And she talks with me In my eyes she'll see my prayer As she turns each page Through this tender age It is love that makes her strong It's her love that makes her strong
