Janice Kapp Perry

There was a song at Pres. Hinckley's funeral that was performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir called "What is this thing that men call Death?". It is a poem that was written by Pres. Hinckley many years ago. Janice's niece found it and asked her aunt to put music to the poem because she wanted the song to be part of her funeral service. Janice's niece passed away in January of this year. She is now making available the lyrics and the music sheet for free with a nice explanation about how the song came to be.

I love this lady and her talent.

I have only met her once but she actually is related to my best friend and also my neighbor across the street who was married to my best friends dad. I won't go into details but he got cancer and called his sister Joy Saunders Lundburg and asked her to write a song for his wife--her and Janice wrote the song and music and sent it back up here. It was sang at his funeral and the spirit was so strong. I was blessed to be there when he played it for her for the very first time! WOW--it is so amazing the power of music!
