" And now, death has finished, and life too. Your physical presence has gone, But with it, your later frailty. Like cannibals, we have absorbed your courage and your cheerfulness. In memory, you pace mountains with tireless stride. Your forceful voice trumpets courage and conviction." - M.M.G May 1996
