When I think of Uncle Albert I can still hear his deep laughter from our childhood get togethers. My memory will always be of a happy smiling fun uncle! Be happy always Uncle Albert wherever you are xx

The Royal Marine stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, you Royal Marine,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The Royal Marine squared his shoulders and
said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
As sometimes, God forgive me,
I forgot that you were near.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Royal Marine waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God,
"Step forward now, you Royal Marine,
You've borne your burdens true,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
There is a space for you!”
