LOCKERBIE, Scotland, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Victoria Cummock, hugging her children in a windswept graveyard above Lockerbie, said on Wednesday her husband could not have died in a better place.Flying in from Florida for the 10th anniversary of the air disaster that killed 270 people, she felt anger and grief that justice had still not been done.

But she also felt a profound sense of gratitude toward the soft-spoken people of this tight-knit little Scottish town.``John could not have picked a better place to die,'' she said, laying a bunch of red and white roses beside his tombstone.

``If it hadn't been for the people of Lockerbie, I think this tragedy would not have been bearable for me.''

Pausing to reflect on the bombing, she said: ``My children were three, four and six when their daddy was killed and the people of Lockerbie have been with us every step of the way.''

John Cummock is buried in Tundergarth churchyard near the hill where he died on December 21, 1988 after Pan Am flight 103 exploded over the town.Victoria Cummock and her children -- Christopher, Matthew and Ashley -- stepped into the memorial hall where the names of the victims are inscribed.``We miss you so and love you very much,'' they wrote in the visitors book.

Above stood a plaque with the message: ``There are three things that last: faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love.''

Cummock is fiercely proud of her children and, outside in the chilly churchyard, her voice broke with emotion as she hugged them.``They have had so much to overcome at such a very young age and yet they have been able to move forward.``They have good hearts and they are caring people. Their daddy would have been proud of them.''

Cummock would only give a cautious welcome to news that Libya's People Congress had agreed to a neutral country trial for the two Libyans suspected in the bombing.``I look at it with very guarded feelings,'' she said, accusing Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi of making a mockery of the British and American justice systems as the case has dragged on for a decade.

``He has toyed with the families for years,'' she said. ``His lack of humanity in this has been an outrage.''

Cummock, from Coral Gables, Florida, found comfort working for the Red Cross as a victim support councillor after the Oklahoma City bombing and the Florida Everglades airline crash.But she seems to have gained strength above all from the people of Lockerbie who have for 10 years opened their doors to grieving Americans.``They have treated us with a dignity and respect and a great deal of compassion,'' she said.

``Terrorism and wickedness did not win. When I think of Lockerbie, I think of a place where goodness has triumphed.''
