Happy 97th Birthday Dad! It's strange how things happen. I was looking through a drawer for a new CD I hadn't played yet and came across your service sheet with a few lines of "Danny Boy":
"Find the place where I am lying, kneel and say that you love me
I will hear your soft tread above me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me"

Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away to the next room
I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
All, is well.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
