Garrick 1st October 2021

Please accept our condolences on the passing of Uncle David Annie, and sorry we can't be with you today. We have no wise words for you, but these may help. What is dying? A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon, and someone says "she is gone". Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all; she is just as large as when I saw her... The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not in her, and just at the moment when someone at my side says "she is gone", there are others who are watching her coming, and other voices take up a glad shout, "there she comes", ... and that is dying. Bishop Brent. All our love and brightest blessings. Roland & Garrick xxx
