ANARE & PAUL MUIRHEAD
were friends who were just doing the job that they both loved trying to make this a safer world.
1 Royal Irish Regiment
27 years old
Commanding Officer of the 1st Battalion the Royal Irish Regiment, Lt Col Michael McGovern, today, 2
September 2006, paid tribute to Ranger Draiva:
Ranger Draiva was a superb, strong and courageous soldier. He performed brilliantly well in his
recent tour of Southern Iraq and was one of the first to volunteer for the tour of Afghanistan.
His contribution in Helmand province in extremely challenging conditions has been second to none and
those that know Draiva will not be surprised that he was killed in action, in the face of the enemy,
defending his comrades and base.
His death has been received with real sadness by his colleagues in Afghanistan and the rest of the
battalion at Fort George, near Inverness.
On learning of the death of Ranger Draiva, Defence Secretary Des Browne said:
I wish to express my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Ranger Anare Draiva. My
thoughts are with them and those of the other solider injured in the same incident.

Im sending a dove to heaven with a parcel on its wings, becareful when you open it its full of beautiful things. Inside are a million kisses, wrapped up in a million hugs, to say how much you mean to your family & send you all their love

Death is just another step
Along life’s changing way,
No more than just a gateway
To a new and better day.
And parting from our loved ones
Is much easier to bear,
When we know that they are waiting
For us to join them there.
So death is just a natural thing
Like the closing of a door,
As we start upon a journey
To a new and distant shore.
And none need make this journey
Undirected or alone,
For God promised us safe passage
To this vast and great unknown.
So let your grief be softened,
And yield not to despair,
You have only placed your loved one
In the loving Father’s care.

When we are in need of comfort
We walk down memory lane,
There we see you smiling
We talk with you again,
And as we wander slowly back
We seem to hear you say
Don't grieve. don't cry, my family,
We'll meet again some day.
(◡‿◡✿)
ALWAYS IN MIND
⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰
Time has stood still for those who love you,
the grief is still fresh, their hearts are still blue.
Memories can ease pain but they never can fill,
the space that is left when they think of you still.
So stay near to those who miss you each day,
for they carry a sadness since you went away.
Send the strength to cope where others have tried,
and some love for their hearts that hurt deep inside.

Sweet dreams angel. Sending love to you and your loved ones.xxx
I am now in Heaven,
The gates have opened wide,
And now I have the privilege
Of walking by His side.
The angel choir is singing
And the music is so sweet;
I'll join them just as soon
As I have worshiped at His feet.
I am now in Heaven,
The blood washed throng is here;
I recognize a lot of them,
There's not a single tear.
There's joy beyond description
And reunions by the score;
There'll be no more separations,
For we'll be here evermore.
I am now in Heaven,
Please wipe away your tears;
I've fought the battle, run the race,
And I'm rid of all my fears.
There is no pain or sorrow here,
The heartaches now are past;
I've read and sung of Heaven,
And now I'm here at last!
I am now in Heaven,
And oh, this place is grand!
No one could have ever told me
Of all the beauty in this land.
Since I cannot describe it,
You'll have to come and see
That it was worth the many trials
To live here for all eternity!

Im no longer by your side,
But theres no need to weep,
Ive left sweet recollations,
Im hoping you will keep.
Eternal joy & memories,
Stay in our hearts forever,
Strengthening our special bond,
That parting cannot sever.
So now it’s time to journey on
Just let your faith be strong,
For I am in a better place…
Im home where I belong.
But, still, if times of loneliness
Bring sorrow & dismay,
Don’t dispair ,for I am there…
Just a memory away.
