When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone.
I am with you still in each new dawn.
A service to celebrate his life will be held at Grimsby Crematorium on November 20th at 1.30pm.
Family flowers only. Charitable donations to the Salvation Army gratefully accepted.
