In Memoriam

BELL, Bert:
Your biggest treasure was your family.
“Forever loved and missed”
Catherine, Ross and Robyna, Ken and Paula, Dawn and David, and families.

BURGESS, William Allan:
A year ago today Allan left
quietly, leaving the then and now as scenes of no similarity.
If life has a start
then there is a finish
but how “to architect”
the in-between is not
in everyone’s wish.
