Beryl, his wife of sixty years, br Studied the coffin through br the deepening fog of her dementia br patting her son's hand as if to reassure. br He, wheelchair bound and dribbling since birth, br was oblivious to the sombre ceremony. br The organ sang 'Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring'. br The mourner Masons carried rosemary. br I held her afterwards and told her br how much he had loved her.
