What a terrible terrible shock for you, Mr. Miles, and the entire Mudcat community is going to feel this. And after drawing a deep breath and focusing my mind, I make bold to say:
I hope, after crossing the threshold, that Mr. Myer received the warmest of welcomes from those he held dear who went before him: the wife to whom he was long married, and the irreplaceable Peter Bellamy. It is we who are left behind who mourn, but what a long and productive life he had.
