What a very fitting service. Sorry we could not make it. Margaret, we are thinking of you all at this difficult time. Mick was “the best”. He will be missed. Love to all and may God Bless you all.
Rest in peace Mick. Lots of great memories while growing up and also times spent together on holidays both there here and in between, along with my dad, grandad and grandma you will never be forgotten and always missed. Our thoughts are with you all lots of love from Ian, Tracey and Paul, in the UK
Absolutely agree with Jane we have the best childhood memories spent with the Cowburn’s .. Mick and Margaret, David, Peter, Andrew, Jamie and John .. thinking of you all along with your partners and children .. What a gigantic family great to see you albeit online.. Margaret and family I hope the wonderful words of Aaron Freeman bring you a kind of comfort and knowledge that Mick is all around you forever more – take care xo
“You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know that all your energy, every vibration, every Btu of heat, every wave of every particle that was her beloved child remains with her in this world. You want the physicist to tell your weeping father that amid energies of the cosmos, you gave as good as you got.
And at one point you’d hope that the physicist would step down from the pulpit and walk to your brokenhearted spouse there in the pew and tell him/her that all the photons that ever bounced off your face, all the particles whose paths were interrupted by your smile, by the touch of your hair, hundreds of trillions of particles, have raced off like children, their ways forever changed by you. And as your widow rocks in the arms of a loving family, may the physicist let him/her know that all the photons that bounced from you were gathered in the particle detectors that are her/his eyes, that those photons created within her/him constellations of electromagnetically charged neurons whose energy will go on forever.
And the physicist will remind the congregation of how much of all our energy is given off as heat. There may be a few fanning themselves with their programs as he says it. And he will tell them that the warmth that flowed through you in life is still here, still part of all that we are, even as we who mourn continue the heat of our own lives.
And you’ll want the physicist to explain to those who loved you that they need not have faith; indeed, they should not have faith. Let them know that they can measure, that scientists have measured precisely the conservation of energy and found it accurate, verifiable and consistent across space and time. You can hope your family will examine the evidence and satisfy themselves that the science is sound and that they’ll be comforted to know your energy’s still around. According to the law of the conservation of energy, not a bit of you is gone; you’re just less orderly”.
Amen.
Will always cherish the time we spent as young families and fondly remember Mick’s sense of fun and his contagious humour, supported by his adoring wife Margaret. Big HUG and lots of love to Margaret, David, Peter, Andrew, Jamie and John (and partners, grandkids) – Jane, Carla and Nicala xoxo
