Poem read by Penny at the interment of Neville's Ashes on 14th August 2019, at Eltham Crematorium

Dear Lord heavenly Father please be with us as we come together to remember our beloved husband/father. Thank you for his wonderful life and all that he meant to us. Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following the paths God made for me I took his hand I heard him call Then turned, and bid farewell to all I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to sing, to play Tasks left undone must stay that way I found my peace... at close of day And if my parting left a void Then fill it with remembered joy A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened... deep with sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow My life's been full I've savoured much Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don't lengthen it now with undue grief Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wants me now... He set me free Dear God, we commend to you the spirit of Neville/Dad and commit his earthly remains to their final resting place. Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. May you bless him and keep him and may he rest in peace forevermore. Amen.
