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'.

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

Life holds so many simple blessings, each day bringing its own individual wonder.

Life, sometimes so wearying is worth its weight in gold the experience of traveling lends a wisdom that is old.

I believe in miracles . . . prayers that are answered and healing hands.

Each day brings its own colours to be chosen, mixed, pigments of joy, happy moments, smiles and laughter.... And which will you choose? For 'Life' is choice.

Do not forget to hope and happy be.
