Dear Proph,
We’ve been bracing ourselves for this moment and now the reality is here words are hard to find.
My thoughts are with you and I send deepest condolences to you and your family for the loss of such a lovely man.
I wandered into the chatroom one cold winter’s day and was embraced by the wonderful cyber family. Some of you know I believe in a life hereafter and I’d like to say this to Alan please:
The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that He would call your name,
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you, the day He called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as He calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
I’d like to put my arms around you, then you’d know just how I feel,
Rena
