“Purpose” (Read by Tracey Martin)
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every purpose
A time to be born and a time to die
A time to plant and a time to grow
A time to suffer and a time to heal
A time to break down and a time to build
A time to weep and a time to laugh
A time to mourn and a time to embrace
A time to win and a time to lose
A time to keep silent and a time to speak
A time to remember and a time to love
A time to travel, and a time to seek my Doug.

WONDERFUL GRANDMOTHER (Read by Guy)
We had a wonderful Nannie
One who never really grew old
Her smile was made of sunshine
And her heart was solid gold
Her eyes were bright as shining stars
And in her cheeks fair roses you see.
We had a wonderful Nannie,
And that’s the way it will always be.
But take heed, because
She’s still keeping an eye on all of us,
So let’s make sure
She will smile, at what she sees.

‘Instructions’ (Read by Caroline)
When I have moved beyond you in the adventure of life,
Gather in some pleasant place and there remember me
With spoken words, old and new.
Let a tear fall if you will, but let a smile come quickly
For I have loved the laughter of life.
Do not linger too long with your solemnities.
Go eat and drink and talk, and when you can;
Follow a woodland trail, climb a high mountain,
Walk along the wild seashore,
Chew the thoughts of some book
Which challenges your soul.
Use your hands some bright day
To make a thing of beauty
Or to lift someone’s heavy load.
Though you mention not my name,
Though no thought of me crosses your mind,
I shall be with you,
For these have been the realities of my life for me.
And when you face some crisis with anguish.
When you walk alone with courage,
When you choose your path of right,
I shall be very close to you.
I have followed the valleys,
I have climbed the heights of life.
