Memorial to Owen Hartley Jones

After finding the tumor in his lung in France, Owen lost his struggle with the cancer on the 18 July 2007 having been able to say goodbye to all of his family and friends. Ben went home for the funeral, which I know his Dad and Aunty Helen really appreciated. We all loved Owen so much and will miss him dearly.

Dusk
Now is the healing, quiet hour that fills
This gay, green world with peace and grateful rest.
Where lately over opalescent hills
The blood of slain Day reddened all the west,
Now comes at Night's behest,
A glow that over all the forest spills,
As with the gold of promised daffodils.
Of all hours this is best.
