Western Necropolis, Glasgow

I attended a funeral at the Hebrew Burial Ground, remembering a kind, encouraging and caring man who listened well, and taught me much about his faith.

His son recited the last verse of "If" by Rudyard Kipling :-

"If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!"
