My brother passed away Saturday March 21st at the age of 51, he (greg o'neil) had liver cancer.

I played his memorial service today. I shed some tears, but got thru it.

I used the SD1plus at my Church and we also have a beautiful Baldwin Grand Piano that I love to play..

Praise and worship touches my heart more than any music..

Dan, sorry to hear of your brother's passing..

I'm sure you did your brother and those he left behind proud.


Stay strong,


Russ

Let me offer my condolences to you and your family Dan. You did your brother proud.

I am the youngest of 7 kids. My mom is 80 and extremely strong...

He joins my dad who past in 1981 and another brother I lost in 2000.

So, thanks friends, my brother is in peace.

He was listening...

My condolences. Playing for our loved ones' passing is the worst gig, bar none.

Dan,
Sorry to hear of your brothers passing...
I don't think I could do that Gig.

I have only 1 brother...and both my parents are gone.

Peace to you and all your family....
Lee S.

Dan, I offer my deepest sympathy and sorry to hear of the loss of your brother. May he RIP.

Dano ... my condolences .. you and your family, including those who have passed, will be remembered in our prayers ...

PS My mother-in-law always said that when she was being buried she wanted "When The Saints Go Marching In" to be sung, so at the gravesite I started it and the rest of the congregation joined in... I hope she was happy with it, but it was tough duty ...

I hesitated making this post, but the warmth from everyone does make me feel better.... Move on with life..

For those who are on facebook, I recorded some realtime video's of a few songs.
My rendition of How Great is our God (chris tomlin) & I can only imagine (mercy me)

I'll be out for the rest of the night..

My condolences go out to you and your family! May your brother rest in peace!

Dan, my thoughts are with you. As someone who has had to play and sing for many funerals and memorial services, it is a very special privilege to be able to do it for one of our own. It's one of the reasons we are placed here, to make life easier for others. I know it's painful, but you were able to do what few others can do for their loved ones.

Thinking of you,

Joe

Dan,

So sorry to hear about your brother. I'm sure your brother is proud of your courage
and it's comforting for you to know that your pain is shared by all your friends here.

Thanks Joe..


I do lead the contempory service at my Church for over 6 yrs. One of the reason's I decided to play each Sunday, was to give something back in life... God does bless us with gifts and you can't waste them.. My own purpose driven life.

Today, I gave back to my family... nothing more rewarding

My deepest sympathy to you and your family Dan. Lost my oldest brother last year to cancer. Life goes on ....

Dan my thoughts go to you.

You're a stronger man then I could be in that situation.

Dan, my prayers go out to you and your family.
Don

Dan,

I'm sorry for your loss, please accept my condolences.

My deepest sympathy Dan to you and your family. It is great that you were able to play though as hard as it may have been. He would really have appreciated it.

My condolences to you and your family Dan.
Live and remember.

My condolences to you and your family.

Maybe...it's our best gig, eh?

I echo the same sentiments that everyone else has shared. I found after losing my Mom, once I'd made it through the calender one complete cycle...get through her birthdate, anniversary, Thanksgiving, Xmas, deathdate, etc. it got a little easier. I experienced some dread as each date approached as I would think of her in those times. After the year passed, that particular feeling was lessened.

Music will help, no doubt about it...

My condolences to you and your family.

Tom

My condolences for your lost, god bless you!

Dan - so sorry to hear about your loss. My family lost my oldest brother at a young age also. Losing our family (particularly siblings) is so painful and I wish you Godspeed and blessings as you go through this very trying process.

Randy

Condolences to you and family.
Both of those songs are great contemporary songs. I am sure she was singing it while you played them.

I learned from a reliable old preacher with many signs and wonders that the soul can stay up to 40 days on earth. We experienced this with my mom's passing back in 99. It was a bit strange with my mom's spirit hanging around us. Everyone felt her presence and strange things would happen around the house. So, if she chooses to, the man upstairs can allow that. I know that you guys are sad but make no mistake, her spirit lives on and you guys will be reunited some day.
God Bless

My condolences. May the peace of God which passes all understanding keep your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. I share with you the joys of being involved with praise and worship. It surpasses all else.
Gene

Dano....You did a Great Honor for Your Brother and Family...Bless You

You also do a Wonderful Work in Your Music Ministry My Friend...You are a part of Changing Lives...Bringing Hope..Sharing Christ Love with others...Nothing Better!

Blessings Harold

Dan I too am sorry for your lost.

Give and you shall receive.

Friend Dan,
It is our prayer that God will use your tears to heal your grief as you continue to bless all those around you.
Blessing from our house to your house,
