Heather – Our friendship has lasted a long time. Although there have been long periods when we kinda lost touch, we never really parted. 

One of those times was many years ago when I drove through to your house in Pennywell, from Bo’ness with Georgia and Jennifer. You opened the door and were so welcoming saying ‘Come in and have your dinner’.

Another time, after a long absence of many years, was a joyful reunion at the Miner’s Gala. This culminated in my friend and I being invited to your house to meet Keith for the first time. Rab was phoned and ordered to drive through. We consumed too much bevy.  But that was just the beginning of a great friendship with Keith.
It has been a unique privilege to be part of your life.

You are one of a kind.  
……and we’ll rise
Over love
Over Hate
Through this iron sky that’s fast becoming our mind
Over fear and into freedom
Into freedom
From which we’ll rise…..
