Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he passed away.
Mervyn you were a man who loved your family and was also so proud of them all and they loved you just as much .You have left them with some lovely memories of you that they will treasure forever .You will be very sadly missed by us all .REST IN PEACE MERVYN XX
