  • In Loving Memory

    As a joint tribute to Dad form his son Andrew and from his wife Marguerite, there are no words more fitting than those of the Airborne Prayer.

    May the defence of the Most High be above

    </p>

    and beneath, around and within us, in our

    going out and in our coming in. In our rising

    up and in our going down, through all our

    days and all our nights, until the dawn when

    the Son of Righteousness shall arise with

    healing in his wings for all the peoples of the

    world. Through Jesus Christ our Lord,

    Amen.

    Love you and miss you,

    Dear Maggie and Andrew(Henghist Pod)

    What Makes A Dad

    God took the strength of a mountain,
    The majesty of a tree,
    The warmth of a summer sun,
    The calm of a quiet sea,

    The generous soul of nature,
    The comforting arm of night,
    The wisdom of the ages,
    The power of the eagle's flight,

    The joy of a morning in spring,
    The faith of a mustard seed,
    The patience of eternity,
    The depth of a family need,

    Then God combined these qualities,
    When there was nothing more to add,
    He knew His masterpiece was complete,
    And so, He called it ... Dad

    I will miss your cheeky, bonny face and unique sense of humour. Your laugh, your smile and the gossips we shared over copious amounts of tea. Keep hold of that Gods Eye so it canlook after you with the angels.

    Love always
