Brian
I am deeply moved by your tribute to your grandfather and would like to share an experience at my Dads funeral that I had the privilidge to officiate in 2001. My Dad and my Grandfather as well as me were born in a small City in South Australia my Granddad born in 1880, my Dad in 1906, me in 1934. This area is adjacent to the coast and was huge Lake Country so through various enormous depressions using a 12 guage they supported the family with Crayfish (lobster without the giant claws) and Wild Ducks.
At my Dads funeral where my Mum was placed as well some time before and I had said the final words two wild ducks got up and flew past side by side. Together in the end off on a journey.
The total significance with your grandfather coupled with that oh so precious timber denotes to me what we are all about precious family.
Kind regards Peter.
