Gerald JamesGIRVANIn memory of Gerald James Girvan, youngest son of the late Francis and Ann Girvan (née McMenamy) of Fife, formerly of Stirlingshire, Scotland and dearly loved husband of the late Rita Girvan (née Speckman) of Kingston-Upon-Hull, East Yorkshire, formerly of London.
A dearly loved brother of Francis (04.03.1901 - 01.04.1901), Bernard (10.04.1902 - 24.01.1972), Francis (21.11.1903 - 23.09.1985), Sarah O'Donnell (28.12.1905 - 29.11.1996), James (25.11.1907 - 13.09.1909), Agnes (08.10.1909 - 13.02.2008), Dominic (09.12.1911 - 12.04.1982), Patrick (31.03.1915 - 06.04.1916), John (07.04.1917 - 02.08.1917), Joseph (12.06.1918 - 04.12.1995), Anna Maria (20.05.1920 - 27.11.1925) and John (18.02.1922 - 20.03.1985).
We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time. Through the unknown, remembered gate When the last of earth left to discover Is that which was the beginning; At the source of the longest river The voice of the hidden waterfall And the children in the apple-tree Not known, because not looked for But heard, half-heard, in the stillness Between two waves of the sea. Quick now, here, now, always- A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything) And all shall be well and All manner of thing shall be well When the tongues of flame are in-folded Into the crowned knot of fire And the fire and the rose are one.
Dearly Loved Darling Daughter, Irene Girvan.
