Rich-Joy. White (Long Time Traveling) by Jolly Jack was played as one of the concluding songs.

I want to share part of Veronica's moving tribute to Martin in the booklet. As I type there are tears of sadness but also a feeling of gratefulness and joy that I knew him.

Martin has so courageously lived with a chronic heart condition for the last four years and during this time he lost a lot of his physical function, and to some extent independence, but never his resolve to live life to the full.

Our last days together were on the Isle of Skye; a place of great beauty which touched both our souls. We were in awe of the splendor of the mountains and lochs, and gazed upon the snow capped Cuillin mountain range under a canopy of a blue sky. We shared the darkest night sky, outside our remote cottage, adorned with stars and a shooting star. What a spectacle. A truly wonderful experience for both of us but especially for Martin, who was so in awe of the universe in its totality.

The Lord took him quickly and without discomfort or warning as we relaxed together after the best day in such a wonderful place. I have lost my soulmate and my dearest friend

I am truly honoured to be able to pass these moving words on and to have been invited to attend his requiem.

Dave.
