I thought you would like to read this poem which we used at my mother, Tessa Murray's funeral. She was Andrew's godmother: The Joy of Love and Life: Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I am following paths God made for me I took his hand, I heard him call Then turned, and bid farewell to all I wish I could have stayed another day To laugh, to love, to sing, to play Tasks left undone must stay that way I found my peace....at close of play And if my parting left a void Then fill it with remembering 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 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 grief Lift up your heart and share with me, The joy of love and life - for now I'am free With love and prayers from James Murray and Kathie (nee Murray) von Hoesslin
