Bruce Grimes 1936~2009


My brother Bruce was buried yesterday in this lovely little church situated in a Welsh valley close to where he lived,
Nature was kind to us and produced some soft autumnal sunshine during the service.
The above beautiful poem was read out by Jessica Elder his daughter,a poem written by his wife Anne. We will miss him.
