“No one is finally dead until the ripples
they cause in the world die away,
until the clock wound up winds down,
until the wine she made has finished its ferment,
until the crop they planted is harvested.
The span of someone’s life is only
the core of their actual existence.”
― Terry Pratchett

Thank you
I send my deepest condolences to you Judy and family. What special memories I have of my time in Australia and the two visits I’ve made since leaving in 1976. You and John were my two favorite “kinder parents” and since I taught all 3 of your awesome children in preschool, we had many fun years together (1972-1976). John’s sense of humor and your “dry” wit, combined with a few beers, gave this Yankee girl fond memories I’ve kept for over 40 years. I’ve admired your marriage from afar and know you will all comfort one another during this sad time. John was a good man and his memory will live on through you, his children, grandchildren and those of us who were fortunate to call him friend. Sending my love from the U.S. Sandy
Thank you so much for your kind words Sandy.
Sending you our love from Dublin at this sad time. “Brief is life but love is long” (Tennyson)

Dear Uncle JohnI am so glad you are at peace now with no more treatment, pain, fear and uncertainty. Although you were taken too early and you will so very missed I know you will be now be with Nanny and Grandpa which gives me some comfort. You meant a lot to me and will continue to have a special place in my heart. I wish I could have been there in your last days and to farewell you today but it wasn’t to be. I will miss you and always love you. Jess xxx
