A Band Called Death Page #9

we're really thankful for is our mother

got to see the resurgence of Death

and that her sons really did make something

out of all that loud music

we was playing upstairs all the time.

MINISTER:
We all know why we're here.

This is the homecoming

of our dear, beloved Mother Hackney.

DANNIS:
Family is everything to us.

'Cause without family, we wouldn't be here.

Without family,

we wouldn't have anything that we have.

Me and Moms used to

kind of have a relationship

that was a little bit different

from the rest of the brothers.

See, I went to my first Motown party

with my mom.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

Okay?

But then again, she taught me how to pray.

CONGREGATION:
Amen.

She taught me how to

ask God for what you want.

She taught me many things

that I will never, ever forget.

My mother loved all of y'all.

God bless you. Thank you for being here.

(APPLAUSE)

BOBBY:
So I believe, unequivocally,

the body ceases to exist,

or the body drops its spirit,

and that spirit is what we really are.

David always said that. He said, "This

isn't the final stop. This isn't...

"it's not over. This is just a..."

He used to call this just a waiting room.

He said the world was one big waiting room.

Said some of us have left the waiting

room and some of us are still here.

That's the way he looked at it.

Yeah.

BOBBY:
Whenever I say Death,

I think about my brother David.

He convinced us.

Not only did he convince us, but he...

He inspired us, because we had

the chance to change the name.

And I think David was the prime example

of what the Lord said when he said,

"What does it profit a man to gain

the whole world and to lose his soul?"

And David's music was his soul,

and he never wavered on that.

And the chance came.

Change your name and

I'll give you the world.

And David didn't waver.

And I'm proud of him, and I love him,

and I honor him for that.
