Swanborough Funerals Chapel, 10/59 Eastern Road, Browns Plains
On Monday 21st October 2024 commencing at 4pm.
I subsequently went ‘on-line’ (on wednesday 23rd Oct 2024) and listened to this funeral service, as the stream was still accessible, indeed my recollection is that it will be visible for one month. Meanwhile I have also downloaded this service as an mp4 file.
To my very great surprise, upon viewing my demeanor, I thought that I was walking and standing like ‘an old man’ !
I delivered the euology. I made no attempt to use the microphone. I thought that I had spoken loud enough for eveyone to hear and I probably did but electronic recording is not as sensitive as the human ear. Nevertheless I think I should have spoken louder or the sound recorder/ microphone perhaps could have been turned up if it was known that I was not going to use the microphone. People listening on-line should turn up the volume.
The actual service begins after about 30 minutes at 4pm. I pepared some notes about what to say. I didnt say all that I ahd intended and yet included other things. I wanted to say more about some of our neighbours who Nell held in High regard such as the Monkley’s/Nolans as well as Ron and June Nayda’s children and one in particular who both Nell and Eric held in high regard. I had also intended to say (though after I had prepared some notes) that it is ordinary families like Nell and Erics who have built this nation, not the politicans nor the Generals but I forgot. I also lost my train of thought as I had wanted to say something about my cousins from among Nell’s sisters but was distracted by my own thoughts
