Public invited to sign guest book, see memorial tribute for Zahra Thursday

(snipped)

"Visitors who come to sign the guest book will have two to sign — one that will be given to Zahra’s father, Adam, and one that will be given to Zahra’s mother in Australia, Emily Dietrich. To the left of the guest books is a photo of Zahra, larger than life, impishly grinning at the camera while holding up a snake in her hands.

Visitors will also get to watch a video montage, photos from Zahra’s life that the family has put together, said Loretta Kuhn, with Drum Funeral Home. The slideshow is played to “Stuck on You,” by Elvis Presley and “Flew up to Heaven” by Alan Jackson."

Stuck On You? This???????????????

Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
'Cause once I catch ya and the kissin' starts
A team o' wild horses couldn't tear us apart

Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side
That's how love is gonna keep us tied

I actually really love that song, but I agree... The daddy tiger isn't really all that paternal as Elvis sings it. It's not a great choice, perhaps.

Maybe it was just a family favourite, or Zahra liked it?
 
Umm...maybe Zahra was a big Elvis fan?

(I got nothin'. I'm dumbfounded.)

I think the sentiment might have been in the right place, maybe? Saying that nothing, not even death, would separate them, and all that.

But, I agree - the overall tone is just not quite right.
 
I'm no music pro but aren't those lyrics talking about being madly in love with like a lover/girlfriend???
 
That Alan Jackson song is called "Sissy's Song", not "Flew To Heaven".

(Not that it really matters I guess.)

Yeah, I should probably go wash my hair or something.
 
Eesh......

Time to drop-a-really...

REALLY???
 
I would think the funeral home would have had suggestions for music, etc. I wonder what the funeral home director thought of the music choices? Are any locals going? Now I REALLY want to know what photos were chosen for the slideshow.
