Eternal rest grant unto Colin o Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him may he rest in peace. Amen.

“Over valleys and mountains
Through green hills and vales
My love for my hometown,
Lies right here in Wales.

It holds something special
Nowhere else, would I find
It holds loving memories
That rest in my mind

My love for it’s beauty
Forever will last
I’ll hold my love close
Till my days here have past.

This wonderful lifetime
Through sun, wind and gales
United with love
My wonderful Wales.”
Poem by Jayne Davies
