St Mawes - Day two and John's Internment

This day had been planned as one of the Major reasons for coming to England.

John Sayce had Died 9 Year early and had requested to be buried at St-Just-In-Roseland.

We were finally here, and it was a beautiful day. Jennifer was on the phone early in the morning to her sisters and Gwen had planned the day around the internment as well. so After A Great cooked Breakfast from Gwen.

An early morning walk down on the foreshore of St Mawes, as the Day Rose. past the House of John Parents.

Back to the Church for Johns Interment. we picked up Gwen and some of the Family to Join us.

The church was shrouded in mist but it was bright. The service was conducted by the Church of England Vicar, and was short. She knew we were members of the LDS church so shortened the service to make it appropriate. we Said a few words and laid John's ashes to rest. He is finally at peace in a beautiful place. Surprising for Jenny was the relief that he was now at rest in the beautiful gardens of the church of St-Just-In-Roselands.

John Sayce, 1927-2007, May He Rest In Peace.
