Duncan Clan One Final Gift
Scatter me not to restless winds,
Nor toss my ashes to the sea.
Remember now those years gone by,
When loving gifts I gave to thee.Remember now the happy times,
The family ties we shared.
Do not leave my resting place unmarked,
As though you never cared.Deny me not one final gift,
For all who come to see.
A single lasting proof that says,
I loved… and you loved me.“Aloha ‘Ohana”
