Life though, is full of compensations and I have been well blessed throughout my 'Life Journey' with good friends met and made along the way. Life is a kind of swings and roundabouts situation; if you can't kick a football you turn to other pursuits.

Kind words are such a blessing to the needful, if one but knew the pleasure that they bring.

Yet still the time:- 'It's so nice to come home'.

If you truthfully can say without a doubt within your heart Dear Lord, Thy will be done, and God knows best!

Love much dear friends for love will bring the healing joy and hope of Spring. . .

His wry sense of humour and his stalwart courage were an inspiring example to so many. His ability to laugh at Life's idiosyncrasies and himself in a self deprecating way taught that most valuable of lessons: 'to be of good cheer, no matter what Life threw at you, and ever to find the hope that dwells in every human heart'.

The gift of sight to see beyond The darker clouds of now!
