"Death lies on him like an untimely frost,
Upon the sweetest flower of all the field."
(Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet.)
The funeral took place this afternoon of little Iain Goodwill, aged 17 months, tragically killed in an accident last week. During the service the following words from the hymn When grief is raw were sung.
O Christ, you wept when grief is raw,
And felt for those who mourned their friend;
Come close to where we would not be
And hold us, numbed by this life's end.
Please pray for Mark and Helen, together with their children, Alan and Douglas, in the midst of such a terrible loss.
