Nina’s Wishes
 
I wish a Christian service beginning with Judy Garland’s rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”.  (I would like the congregation to read the 23rd Psalm aloud... need to include the passage in the program)
Also include John 14:1-6 inside the program cover for the funeral and the visitation service.  Please use my picture taken on my 60th birthday…located in bookcase upstairs.  I would like “Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Simon and Garfunkel to end the service.
 
I want to be cremated and my ashes given to Simon.
