claireliverseed 30th April 2020

Dear Chris, A funeral was not want I wanted to be doing for your family but as it had to happen I'm glad I was able to be there with you. The poem I used was by an unknown author Not how did he die, but how did he live? Not what did he gain, but what did he give? These are the units to measure the worth of a man as a man, regardless of birth. Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed? But had he befriended those really in need? Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer, to bring back a smile, to banish a tear? Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say, but how many were sorry when he passed away I wondered about putting it on the memorial site - perhaps Claire would do that if you think it appropriate. I'll be here for a few weeks yet so if you need a listening ear do give me a ring. God bless Bev x
