Re: October 2013 - celebrating the life of Gaye McOnie
Just completed my 3861 as the sun sets here in beautiful New Zealand, i did not know Gaye but i now know the immense loss Dave is feeling. Years of layered memories and intimacies that no one else can breach. RIP Gaye.

Re: Beryl Archer
Thank you one and all for your kind and thoughtful posts about my darling girl Beryl. Ber was ill from the 27th June last year and died on 3rd February 2013. Not once in that time did Beryl complain or stop smiling. I miss her more than I can ever say.
Thanks again
Chris
