Mum, Olive (née Ring, Christie, later Logue) — March 6, 1922 — 4.55 am (in the Hour of the Wolf), January 22, 2012. ‘Woodland Burial’ by Pam Ayres, read by granddaughter Branwen Christie. Music: ‘A Bright Star in Cepheus’ from the CD ‘Roads Not Travelled’ by Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham (Whirlie Records). ‘Dont lay me in some gloomy churchyard shaded by a wall, Where the dust of ancient bones has spread a dryness over all, Lay me in some leafy loam where, sheltered from the cold, Little seeds investigate, and tender leaves unfold, There, kindly and affectionately plant a native tree, To grow resplendent before God and hold some part of me. The roots will not disturb me as they wend their peaceful way To build the fine and bountiful from closure and decay, To seek their small requirements so that when their work is done Ill be tall and standing strongly in the beauty of the sun.’
