I thought you had borrowed some classical poetry from somewhere to express your thoughts, then reached the end and see that Nigel was the eloquent wordsmith !                  Seems also quite apt today as we interned my dad's ashes in the grave where my brother and mum were laid. Only a small party of us. The minister I asked to officiate done a lovely sensitive job ,and I sang the song I had written for dad some time ago. A season of mingled emotions.                   Blessings all.    Pete.
