It was an honour and privilege to have met you. I read in a book that life is a passing shadow. In my short time sitting with you, Bernadette and living with your rather unique son, Duncan, I was still at the speed of a passing shadow. To see one of the special sources of his passion for Jesus Christ. It was really neat having first up chit chats to some of those who gather to honour you in smile and chat to them also who have the same passion. From one mother to another, wife to a wife, sister to sister in Jesus Christ, I kind of see the same chatter between Jesus and Mary of your son Duncan. His time has come. Sweet Bernadette in the presence of Jesus, WATCH THIS SPACE from that great place. I will take good care of your precious son Duncan. Oh, and see you soon.
