A Poem for this afternoon.

[M@H]

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.



Rest in Peace Harrigan

Very moving M@

I was very sad to hear about Harrigan.
I remember meeting him at Btap and he was a really great bloke.

Carz has gone along today to pay our respects, I had the Gassing station respect page open on my screen from 16:30 to remember him. Then just saw the poem and felt I had to thank M@ for posting it.

I'd ditto the above. Haven't said anything up to now, haven't known what to say, but just sat by the PC with that page open in quiet contemplation. It was a real lump in the throat moment reading that M@ - good choice, very fitting.

RIP Harrigan - we'll all miss you.

Lovely thought Matt, I only met Harrigan the once but what a really nice guy. My thoughts are with Heidi and his family.

[dicky]

That is a wonderful thing to do.

Matt. Just thanks for that. I've been a bit lost all afternoon - too many memories from loosing my bigger brother who unfortunatly looked and behaved rather like H.

Thanks again.

I was privileged to attend Harrigan's memorial service today, to hear testament to what an all-round inspiration he was and still is to all the people he touched during his life.

His memory will always be cherished. May he rest in peace.

Thank you to everyone who posted on P/H regarding Harrigan - it certainly made it easier for me today to know that we "were as one mind" as a community - I believe P/H showed today what a wonderful community this is and came out of a very difficult circumstance with a lot of credit.

Thanks must go to Petrol Ted for the sensitive way he treated this situation and also to Jeremy C and to Luca Brazzi for pulling everything together this week and keeping everyone informed about the service.

Our thoughts, love and prayers remain with Heidi, and Harrigan may you rest in Peace.

Thanks to you all

Neal.
