Lisa's words spoken at Ron's committal ceremony
Pop - this is the part of this whole transition that I would like to say a few words and pay my respects to your body – it really served you well. From way back in the day when you and Warren had fun introducing all kinds of exotic foreign and unusual substances to it, to more recently when you developed a kinder, gentler approach, this body was perfect. I am grateful for every moment we spent together exercising it – either on foot or on bikes – your body really kicked asteroids. Right up until the end when it continued to do what you asked of it while you battled your cancer, until finally you agreed ok – we’ve done enough together, this was an extraordinary body. So for me, today, this ceremony is for your body. I will cherish the part that I get to keep in the urn that I picked up in Hong Kong right next to that shop that I bought for you that very colourful tie that you wore day in and day out for years. I will keep that small part close to my heart, as I carry your spirit with me, wherever I go.
