‘So we stood alive in the river of light’ - an evocative line from Ted Hughes’ That Morning - which seems to chime with the great outdoors of the Peak District, loved and enjoyed by Laurie - shine on in the river of light. X

'Death is not extinguishing the Light but putting out the Lamp because the Dawn has come'. We will miss the social occasions we shared together but we are left with many happy memories of those times. Heather and Bill

To live in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to die.

Those we have lost don't go away, they walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard but always near, still loved and very very dear

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 cry; I am not there. I did not die.

“Something that is loved is never lost” this is something that clearly applies to Laurie. Proud to be your son in law, Daniel.

We hope that you find this tribute to Laurie a place of comfort, support and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
