Focus on Heritage Cemetery: Musical talent is buried here, and the talent really wouldn't like the reverential silence of the cemetery. In fact, if you gathered together all of the instruments (see two?) and song you find memorialized on headstones in this neighborhood, the prairie would be alive with angelic acoustics. [2012]

| Always Loved, Deeply Missed & Never Forgotten Praise Adonai From the Rising of the Sun / To the End of Everyday |
ADONAI
ReplyDeleteFrom Hebrew אֲדֹנָי, "My Lord"; used in place of the Tetragrammaton YHWH as a name of the God of the Hebrews during prayer recitation.
YHWH, the ineffable name of God, is read as Adonai ("My Lord") or as Elohim. The word Adonai is normally used only in prayer, else the speaker risks taking the Lord’s name in vain. In normal speech, the word HaShem ("The Name") is used instead.
She must have played the guitar and sung "Praise Adonai" full of hope for a future to be cut short in a Manitoba winter at less than 22 years of age. Her family's commemoration lets her religious beliefs and musical loves resonate in the minds of perfect strangers.
In her memory, here is, sung by its composer, a beautiful version of the song she must have so loved:

"One accident occured on Highway #3 near Sanford. A Honda Accord went out of control on an icy curve and collided with an oncoming pick-up. All 3 people in the car died. They have been identified as the driver, 21 year-old Jamie Klassen of Winnipeg, formerly of Steinbach, along with her boyfriend, 21 year-old Jordan Fehr and his 19 year-old sister Brittany of Winkler."

With her boyfriend she was in a Christian band, and the guitar might also allude to her boyfriend:
"Jamie Klassen was the lead singer and Jordan the acoustic guitarist for the band Once Lost, which toured Eastern Canada in May of 2004."
