In Lucknow, as in other parts of the world, graves mean little to some people, but a search on the internet proves otherwise! What one will find on this blog isn't even 'a drop in the vast ocean' of tears that would have been shed if it were possible to calculate. The names, the sad poetry, quotes and expression of grief of the loved ones all being ground to dust. "...We always say that the history of a parish is in its graveyards..."

God gave a gentle call,
You silently left us all.

and whisper for you to hear
Daddy we love and remember you always
and will forever keep you near.

Wife: Mrs Prudence Bunch
