He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
Who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who has left the world better than he found it;
Who haslooked for the best in others and given the best he had;
Who never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it;
Whose life was an inspiration
Whose memory is a benediction.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
