You touched the lives of people you never met when you were here in this life. May your rest be long and happy, filled with reunions with all those you loved who passed before you.

Dear Duck, I only know you through the words of Mage & G., but in a very powerful way your generous heart and indomitable spirit are part of my pantheon of examples of how to live a good life. May those who mourn you be comforted, may you rest in peace.

Duck and the two G's: "Friend of Bill W", mentor to many, designer of beautiful tapestries, a dear to all who loved him. May the sorrow those who know you well be tempered with laughter and stories of the wonderful man you were to them. Prayers for healing strength from me to the G's and others
