Yesterday was a special day.
Mum’s ashes were buried in Dad’s grave at Landican Cemetery. Reverend Thomas Carmichael was there to give a blessing. He also held the funeral service for Mum, and Dad, at Christchurch, Port Sunlight. He asked me if I wanted to lower Mum’s casket into the grave myself and then bury it, I did, I’ll never forget it. I wasn’t expecting that but was so pleased, honoured, to have done it.
I live far off in the wild
Where moss and woods are thick and plants perfumed.
I can see mountains rain or shine
And never hear market noise.
I light a few leaves in my stove to heat tea.
To patch my robe I cut off a cloud.
Lifetimes seldom fill a hundred years.
Why suffer for profit and fame?

As this blog is a family archive, I feel there should be a record of where Mum & Dad are buried:
Harry and Nancy McCormack are buried at Landican Cemetery
Woodchurch
Arrowe Park Road
Wirral
CH49 5LW
Grave number 409 section 5.

| Mum & Dad's Memorial. |
Still difficult to believe they are both gone, infact it will be 4 years tomorrow that Dad passed away.
