My mother Patricia Howard wrote a song for the occasion, set to the tune: "They Can't Take that Away from Me". Her four daughters linked arms with her to sing the following lyrics:He wouldn’t make a fuss
He was a splendid scribe
No, no, they can’t take that away from us.
He could demystify
The most ambiguous
He wouldn’t tell a lie
No, no, they can’t take that away from us.
If we ever, ever meet again on a planet far from here
Our ensemble jokes will fill an atmosphere.
And when we feed him lines
He’ll act the omnibus
To show us how he shines
No, no, they can’t take that away from us,
No, they can’t take that away from us!
