Unusual Farewell

I conducted a memorial service for an 83 year old lady this afternoon. As the hearse was driving away, with everyone having said 'goodbye' by placing rose petals on the coffin, two Hadedah's flew overhead and landed in a tree over the road. They were making their usual calls, which at that moment sounded like 'Good-bye, Good-bye'. Not often that we have an official send-off like that!
