Dear Barry: Please know that we share your sorrow in the passing of Pat, your life partner. Our memory of you and Pat goes way back to the time we lived in Nelson Park and to our employment at Northern. We look with pride at the beautiful pieces of furnature we purchased at Memory Lane that were lovingly restored by yourself and Pat. We also are reminded of her dedication as a volunteer at Animal Aide. Having had a number of feline friends ourself over the years we can appreciate her great devotion. We regret that our visits have been few and far between since we moved out of St Thomas in 2006. We'll be giving you a call soon to arrange for a visit.
One of my favorite quotes from Kahlil Gibran will perchance give you some comfort at this difficult time.
“For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountaintop,then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shal claim your limbs,then shall you truly dance.”
In the meantime, take good care my friend.
Al Tucker
