1:25:27
As the son and
heir of the dearly departed.
1:25:32
I stand here, by his coffin
1:25:36
and offer you
1:25:37
his mothers, his wifes and my
own thanks for coming here today.
1:25:45
My heart is so full of grief that
1:25:50
God gave me a father
1:25:54
greater and better than most men.
1:26:00
Father.
1:26:01
You were such to me
1:26:04
that all my days
1:26:07
I ought to express it in word and in deed.
1:26:12
Now that you have passed away,
1:26:15
I am tormented by the grief I caused you.
1:26:20
If you were alive now
1:26:22
I would be a much better son to you.
1:26:29
Forgive me
1:26:31
for letting my feelings
have the better of me.
1:26:41
One word more.
1:26:43
A word, on behalf of the relatives.
1:26:51
According to custom,
I bear witness before God and man
1:26:56
that my fathers sudden death
1:26:59
can be laid at the door
of no man or woman.
