ANNOUNCEMENT
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of one of our members. Although he experienced mental health problems throughout his life, he was a friendly, funny, much-loved character who will be greatly missed. Gary has been an integral part of our project for many years and his happy smiling face was a ray of sunshine in the garden.

The Butterfly and the Rose
As the sunset falls
We sit and remember
A man so warm and kind
And though it feels like he is gone
He hasn't left us all behind
As we sit and watch the butterflies
This beautiful summer's morn
We may weep and cry in sorrow
But with every sad passing, there comes a brand new dawn
And as we see more than just one of these beautiful roses grow
We sit down at this time and remember
That kind old peaceful man
We all had come to know.

We had a collection and bought a plaque and rose tree in remembrance of Gary which we planted in a dedication service held on July 6th at the gardens.
