Hope your mum had a similarly easy end. One thing I know you'd appreciate is that Steven Nisbet played the organ at Dad's funeral - so we had a good sing, although my voice wasn't doing as it was supposed to. That was just one of a number of things that were just right. Steven was my organ teacher, and would have known Dad and mum for maybe 40 years. West End Uniting was where Mum and Dad met, when Mum was the deaconess, and Noel Preston's father, who was the minister then, married them. So we couldn't have got a "last act" that was much more unified with the whole of Dad's life. Thanks Lesley. Hope your mum had a similarly easy end.

We buried my mum the week before, and she was 96! How times have changed. Human nature, unfortunately, takes a lot longer. When she was born, Qld was in the grip of the people with the money. Now..... Regards Lesley de Voil Hi Graham

I’m not sure what his personal religious creed was, but the only scripture passage I can recall him quoting to me was from St Paul – 'Test everything, and hold fast to that which is true." Thanks Lionel, Thanks Graham. Graham,
