For me, January represents a month of loss. I lost both my parents in this month, ended a significant relationship by choice, and now the transition of Christopher, and with it, a sense of profound loss and melancholy.
Although I have known Christopher for a relatively short time, the moments spent with him are memorable. He was a humble, loving man with a brilliant mind coupled with a wealth of education and life experience.
As a result of his failing health, I regret not always having had the opportunity to visit him as often as I should have but in better days, I drove him to Goderich on a lovely warm and sunny afternoon. It was an opportunity to hear the wisdom that he garnered over the years from personal experience as well as that from our Beloved Order.
Since his passing, I am ever aware of his presence in my heart and mind, and when my outer self is quieted, the sadness is deeply felt within.
May we meet again across the veil, Brother Christopher and may you always rest in peace.
Thank you for your service to Humanity, forever etched in the Book of Life.
