This is a record of the creation of a very special bench in memory of two sisters who are no more — AnnaLeah and Mary Lydia Karth.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith;

in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness,

which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day;

and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing. (2 Timothy 4: 7-8)

To God be the glory — their Creator and Redeemer.

too often, it’s hard, I know

to find a space where one can recall

not how they died

but how they lived & who they were

a place for grateful reflections

As Hard as It Is, It’s Important to Remember Our Lost Loved Ones

Background Music: “May It Be” Music: Enya Lyrics: Roma Ryan Recorded: Aigle Studios, Dublin

Released: 2001 for the movie Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring

“May It Be” is both a blessing song and a prayer, written by Enya in collaboration with Nicky and Roma Ryan specifically for Peter Jackson’s film Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring at the request of soundtrack composer Howard Shore. It was composed in a style intended to evoke the cultural feeling of J.R.R. Tolkien’s world, in particular that of Tolkien’s elves.

Peter Jackson in Part One: From Book to Vision: “May It Be” is a blessing sung for those who choose to walk the long road, in defense of all that is good in life, no matter the odds. Honoring one’s commitment to what is true, loving and good, with perseverance even in the face of total hopelessness, is a continual theme appearing throughout all of Tolkien’s work.
