“(Continued) I love you and will miss you for the rest of my days. Only another beloved and departed dear friend, John O’Donohue could pen so aptly: “Though we need to weep your loss, You dwell in that safe place in our hearts, Where no storm or night or pain can reach you. Let us not look for you only in memory, Where we would grow lonely without you. You would want us to find you in presence, Beside us when beauty brightens, When kindness glows And music echoes eternal tones.””

“The heart does not want to accept what the mind has just taken in - news of the loss of you dear John. You became, and will always be, a part of the fabric of my life. Thank you for your presence. The last time I was with you, you offered me gentle and encouraging words of hope. I immediately wrote them down on a piece of paper so I would not forget. I have carried that piece of paper in my wallet every day since. How could you have known your impact? (Continued in next)”
