The chapel stood still, its silence more powerful than any hymn. Vince Melouney entered without ceremony—no lights, no introductions—only the hush of reverence and the soft tap of his shoes on the old stone floor. In the front pew rested a single photograph: Colin Petersen, drummer, brother in music, now laid to rest. Vince removed his hat slowly, not out of habit, but out of love—an unspoken farewell between those who once shared the same stage, the same heartbeat. He carried no speech, only a guitar whose wood bore the marks of years and memories. Sitting down before the altar, he adjusted a single string, then rested his hand upon it, eyes lowered. And then, without warning or announcement, “Don’t Forget To Remember” drifted into the room—not sung for a crowd, but offered like a prayer. His voice trembled with grace, not grief, each note honoring the rhythm that Colin once carried behind the scenes. In the back, a mourner clutched a handkerchief. A woman pressed her fingers to her lips. No one dared break the moment.
