Another year gone by,time just runs away,all my love always,Victoria

Unfortunately, I only got to know Les towards the end of his earthly life; even so, he made a great impression on me with his patience, courage, wisdom & humour. You only had to be in his presence to feel his generosity of Soul & what a lovely Aura he had. They say you can measure the purpose/meaning of your life by the people you leave behind - if this is true Les would have to find a very long tape measure indeed to measure all the lives he touched & enriched. It’s difficult to be so wise without being pompous but Les had the knack of tempering everything with such a wonderful sense of mischievous humour that you were so busy laughing the wisdom only struck you with full force afterwards. I will always regret that I didn’t have more time to get to know him better, I will always be grateful that I got to know him even for a short while & for the help/wisdom he shared with me.

Another year passes and I miss you more than ever, although I know your strength and love is still with me as I continue with your vision to create a Centre of Excellence. Whether one passes on or remains is all the same. That you can take no one with you is the only difference. Ah, how pleasant! Two awakenings and one sleep. This dream of a fleeing world! The roseate hues of early dawn! Tokugawa Ieyasu 1542-1616
