The poem also reflected Mrs Hinch’s mourning for her father as it added: ‘A never ending process where our souls cry out, missing the person we now live without, but it reminds us that we were so lucky, that we had a soul that we missed so much. a lot, although it’s hard to be lucky and it doesn’t feel that way.
