> I say no (and I've been to a lot of funerals in the 
Black community), you say yes.  No doubt, we're both 
right.

I never heard it until I started working and going to 
funerals in Harlem.  I checked with my husband and he 
said it was in common use in South Carolina where he 
was raised.  It runs second to "gone to Glory," but 
I have heard it a lot.

Of the only two white people I have heard use it, one 
goes to a predominantly black church and the other works 
in East New York as a social worker.  I doubt the 
expression was invented by a radio station.
