It is Sunday again...

First up, it is good to have good friends.  On Tuesday Helen and I went to a Memorial Service for Merilyn Johnson.  It should have been a happy day because it was Merilyns 60th birthday, but Merilyn wasn't to attend.  Unfortuneately Merilyn perished in a house fire on the property 'Zeta'. John took us into town at 0630am and picked us up again at 11:30pm. Thanks a million John.
Approx 200+ people attended and at the front was a Memorial board for photos of Merilyn.  Flowers, both in arrangements and loose and baskets of carnations for anyone to place a tribute to Merilyn.  Merilyn will not only be missed by her family, but the whole community.  The town came to a standstill for the length of the service.  Helen took the quilt she had made for Merilyn and left it for the family.
Merilyn would have been very proud of her four children who spoke so well about their mother.
