Hovering there, Ive chased the shouting wind along and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious burning blue Ive topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace, Where never lark, or even eagle, flew: And, while with silent lifting mind Ive trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space. Put out my hand and touched the face of God. ... John Gillespie Magee Always in our thoughts Carol, Leslie, Ian & Fiona In Memoriam He left us so suddenly His thoughts unknown but left us a memory We are proud to own So treasure him Lord In your garden of rest For when on earth He was one of the best In memory of my loving husband, father and grandfather, Charles E. Allen, who passed away, January 6, 1999. Especially missed by sons, Dan & David of Acton and daughter Jo Anne of Ajax. His oldest son Larry of Waterloo, passed away, Oct. 15th, 2008.
