Dear Tanya

Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife,
Throughout the sensual world proclaim,
One crowded hour of glorious life
Is worth an age without a name.
Thomas Osbert Mordaunt (1730-1809)

You bravely fought against adversity with dignity and a strong spirit. I take some comfort in knowing you shared many happy hours of glorious life with your loving partner, Mark, your parents and family and friends. May you rest peacefully Tanya. You will be greatly missed by many. Love from Cavell, Chris, Calypso and the menagerie.
