| b New Zealand Raewyn's parents are Noel Lyall Blanchfield and Esma Joyce Pollard who married in New Zealand in 1940. Noel served in the New Zealand army during WWII and qualified as an Accountant. The Trust regrets having to confirm that after a hard fought battle against cancer Raewyn lost her struggle on Thursday 9th June. We all loved you. IF By Rudyard Kipling (with a little help from Miranda Barclay) Read by Philip Hope-Cobbold at Raewyn’s Celebration of Life Sunday 4th September 2016 Raewyn kept her head when all about her Were losing theirs and blaming it on her, She trusted herself when we all doubted, But made allowance for our doubting too; She couldn’t wait and was always tired by waiting, Was rarely lied about, nor dealt in lies, Was never hated, nor gave way to hating, And always looked so good, and talked so wise: Raewyn could dream – and not make dreams her master; Raewyn could think – and not make thoughts her aim; Raewyn met with Philip and Disaster Treating those two imposters just the same; Raewyn could talk with crowds and keep her virtue, She walked with Kings – nor lost the common touch. We never wanted anyone to hurt you, For all folk count with you, but none too much; We know you forced your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they were gone, And so held on when there was nothing in you Except the Will which said to you: ‘Hold on!’ We know you filled the unforgiving minute With sixty-nine years’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And from us all resounds the last: Well Done! |
