[Magdalen] Brudder Jon

[Marion Thompson]

I find I have no words now that the news has come that Brud has left our 
shore.  I love all that pub-mates everywhere have written and I have 
nodded again and again in silent, teary agreement. Well done, good and 
faithful servant.  May I be as brave and focussed when my own time 
comes.  All strength and comfort to Dawn and Tish and all who love him.

Marion, a pilgrim
