This morning I am off to say my last farewell to a good friend who lived nearby. The last year was difficult for him and for his wife and daughter who lovingly shared in his care. A joiner by trade he had very gifted hands and it was a pleasure to watch as he caressed and not just handled a piece of timber.

Mention music and dancing – the Tango was his particular favourite – and his eyes danced with joy.

The pain and suffering are now over so may he reap the reward of his Tango heaven.

Rest in Peace.
