The Fighting Temptations Page #4

- What?

- They're repossessing your stuff.

Not my TV!

Nothing can replace Aunt Sally!

Not my TV, my Bose system...

Let it out, son, let it out.

Yeah.

Keep stalling the creditors.

I'll call you back.

- The church, it's in mourning

- Mourning

Glory to God

The church, it's in mourning

- Mournin'

- Oh, yeah, oh, yeah

- The church, it's in mourning

- Mourning

Good God Almighty, another soldier

A true-born soldier

Has gone home, gone home

Why, we're here today

For the home-going and the celebration

Of a wonderful woman

Aunt Sally

Everybody loved Aunt Sally

She took the young people

And kept them under her wings

And she cared for the elderly

I just wanna say listen

We might not have this chance

Swift move on, Aunt Sally

Swift move on, Aunt Sally

And take your rest

We loved you, Aunt Sally

But God loved you best

- Oh, yeah

- If you see my mother there

Tell my momma I'm on my way

I'm on my way

- Our hearts are in mourning

- Mourning

Glory to God

It's left our hearts in mourning

Mournin'

Good God Almighty, good God Almighty

- It's left our hearts in mourning

- Mournin'

Another soldier, a true-born soldier

A holy, good soldier

A heaven-bound soldier

- Yeah

- Yeah

Gone, gone, gone

Gone on home

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

- Hallelujah.

- Amen.

- Yeah

- Yeah

- Let the church say amen.

- Amen.

- Let the church say amen.

- Amen.

- Amen.

- Yes, yes, yes. Well, well, well.

At this time, we would like to give

Sally's family and loved ones

an opportunity to say

how much she meant to 'em.

It's only fitting to start with the person

that came the farthest way to be here.

- That's her great-nephew, Darrin.

- All right. Yeah.

- Oh, yeah, brother Darrin.

- Yes, my brother.

- Oh, yeah.

- All right, son.

Come on. Oh, yeah, amen.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Many of you don't remember me.

- The one that had the phone.

Yeah. But before that,

I was Aunt Sally's favourite nephew.

I thought we'd see forever,

but forever's gone away.

And it's so hard to say goodbye...

...to yesterday.

- Boyz II Men.

- I got one amen, can I get another?

- Amen.

My mom passed away a few years ago,

in a hit-and-run accident

when I was still a teenager.

It's the talks I had with her

I cherish more than anything.

I remember her telling me...

...that it was Aunt Sally who took us in

when I was a baby,

after my father died in Vietnam.

- I'll always love her for that.

- Your mama dead, too?

He just said it.

Young man, so glad that you came

for your aunt's funeral.

She was always telling us how well

you were doin' up in New York,

with your important job.
