They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, We will remember them. THIS APPEARS IN THE WEEKLY ROUNDUP THAT ANNE CIRCULATES EACH WEEK, WE ARE NOW ON WEEK 23. IF YOU WERE ABLE TO ATTEND MOUNT CARMEL THIS WEEKEND YOU WOULD SEE THAT THE WAR MEMORIAL HAS BEEN DECORATED BY HELEN TOGETHER WITH A WREATH OF POPPIES.
THANK YOU HELEN AND ANNE. |
