"Legacy" Video Tribute


A video reminder of Sondra - Wife and Mother. We love you and miss you. Anthony (Lauren, Jonathan, and Matthew)-------------------------------------

Sondra was unexpectently diagnosed with Stage IV Esophageal Cancer in February 2007.
After a brief but courageous fight, she passed away in May 2007... Mother's Day Weekend.
Today we believe this Christian woman is finally Home in Heaven... in a place where she no longer suffers.

One of Sondra's final wishes was to use this song some way at her funeral. This song was important to her because she was concerned about the Legacy she would be leaving behind to her children. She wondered... "Did I do enough??".

Yes, Sondra, you did.

Song: "Legacy"
Artist: Nichole Nordeman


I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me.
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest.
Youcould take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much.

I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights.
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'.
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on morebesides.
The temporary trappings of this world...

I want to leave a legacy.
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering.
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically.
And leave that kind of legacy.

I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy.
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy.

I want to leave a legacy.
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering.
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically.
And leave that kind of legacy.

Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred.
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good andfaithful one...

I want to leave a legacy.
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering.
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically.
And leave that kind of legacy.
