Although I did not know Brian, I hope that his family will find some comfirt in the words and thoughts of all those who did. In difficult times such as these, perhaps these thoughts may also give some comfort.
TO THOSE WHOM I LOVE AND WHO LOVE ME
When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You must not tie yourself with tears,
Be happy that we had so many years
I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness,
I thank you for the love you all have shown,
But now it is time I travelled alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless the memories within your heart.
I will not be far away, for life goes on,
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you cannot see or touch me, I will be near,
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All of my love around you, soft and clear.
Then when you must come this way along,
I will greet you with a smile, and a “Welcome Home”.
