My personal
tribute to my wonderful friend Billyou will always be
remembered and sorely missedChris and the Pug Tribe
Until We Meet
How blessed is the tie that binds
Our hearts in lasting love,
The comradeship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
So when at last we have to part
In sorrow and in pain
We know we still are joined in heart,
Until we meet again.
