Behind the Candelabra Page #9

due to an anemia caused

by a watermelon diet.

The body has already

been embalmed!

With respect to Liberace's

family during this time,

we have asked that the request

for autopsy be rejected.

Since Mr. Liberace

has already been embalmed,

it was necessary

to take tissue samples.

Along with the medical

records of blood tests

during his recent stay at the

Eisenhower Medical Center...

it is the conclusion of the Riverside

County Health Department...

that Mr. Liberace

died of complications

due to the AIDS virus.

Thank you

all for coming.

I think that what should be

remembered today

is that Lee

was a great professional...

a great showman,

he loved his fans.

But we should also

look to the future.

As a result

of the scholarship program

which he's established

through his foundation...

many young people will have

a musical education

which they otherwise

could not afford.

Thank you.

My dear

people, let us begin

as we begin

all things holy.

In the name of the Father,

and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

The grace of our Lord

Jesus Christ...

the love of God, and the

fellowship of the Holy Spirit

be with you always.

And with your spirit.

In the waters of baptism,

Liberace

died with Christ

and rose within

to a new life.

May he now share

with Him

in eternal glory.

Let us pray.

"To dream

the impossible dream

To be better far

than you are

To try when your arms

are too weary

To reach

that unreachable star

This is my quest

To follow that star

No matter

how hopeless

No matter how far

To be willing to give

When there's

no more to give

To be willing to die

So that honor and justice

may live

And I know

If I'll only be true

To this glorious quest

My heart

Shall lie peaceful

and calm

When I'm laid

to my rest."

Thank you.

Thank you.

You have made me

the happiest piano player

who has ever lived.

And no matter what,

I still believe

and always will...

too much

of a good thing

is wonderful!

Why do I love you?

I love you

not only for what you are,

But for what I am

when I'm with you.

I love you not only for What

you have made of yourself,

But for what

you are making of me.

I love you for ignoring

the possibilities

Of the fool in me

And for accepting

the possibilities

Of the good in me.

Why do I love you?

I love you

for closing your eyes

To the discords in me

And for adding

to the music in me...

by worshipful listening.

I love you

for helping me

to construct of my life...

not a tavern

but a temple.

I love you because

you have done so much...

to make me happy.

You have done it

without a word...

without a touch,

without a sign.

You have done it

by just being yourself.

Perhaps, after all...

that is what love means

And that is why...

I love you.
