A friend of mine recently committed suicide and I have been helping her mother plan the final arrangements. She would like me to put together a few songs to be played at my friend's funeral. She was only 19, so I'd like to use recent, more contemporary songs (of any genre, I suppose--but pop, rock, and country mainly) as opposed to older country or folk or such. So far, the only two I have are "Who You'd Be Today" by Kenny Chesney and "In the Arms of an Angel" by Sarah McLachlan. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
