I really enjoy reading the Morning Mirrors and finding out what is
happening in BYO. I think it is a great idea to include Congrats and
Condolences from all ex BYO people around the world, as old friends are
scattered so far and wide !!
CONGRATULATIONS
Charlie & Pam Stanton of Mbalabala, and Cheryl
and Paul Canter of Ballito, are delighted to announce the arrival of
their first
Grandchild - GEMMA LOUISE CANTER - born to Gavin
and Carla (nee Stanton), on Sunday September 28.
Grateful thanks to staff of Mater Dei Bulawayo.
CONDOLENCES

Like many others we were caught by the forced
closure of The Daily News, so had no way of putting out a wider
Thank You to our friends and family.
My mother, Doreen Sullivan passed away on Thursday 28th August, and
Father Vincent was here with most of our family, six of the seven
children and all four of our own children. He celebrated a joyful
Mass of the Resurrection for her, humbly assisted by Archbishop Pius
Ncube and Archbishop Henry Karlen, with Father Kevin O'Dogherty,
Father Odilo Weeger and seven more priests, at Christ the King on
Tuesday 2nd April.
Larry and Althea Farren produced a beautiful booklet in record time
and to the highest standards, and the Catenian and catholic Womens
league ladies laid on a sumptuous reception in the Hall. We have
been quite overwhelmed by the condolences and the warmth of our
families and friends, and will try to write soon. In the meantime we
all wanted to say how much we appreciate them. We have a lovely
community, small though it is, and it includes people of every race
and religion. So, from Larry Sullivan, John and Wallis, and all the
Sullivan families, we truly appreciate the kindness and love shown
to us, at this time when we have lost our wife and mother, Doreen.
May God warmly bless each of you in our wonderful Bulawayo
community.

Ray Fawcett died on Friday night. Hospice made sure
that he didn't suffer any pain. The memorial service will be on
Wednesday at the Baptist Church Pinelands at 4pm and the family will
then have another service in Bulawayo the following week. So very
sad to say farewell to yet another of Bulawayo's characters.

Just a short note this morning to advise you of Ann
Haward's passing. She was the widow of Dr Adrian Haward. She was
well known to a number of people, not only from the surgery, but she
was an active social tennis player. Both Sue and I were very close
to her and we have known her for many, many years.

Bring Light
There is some darkness in most human minds today, so
there is a darkness component in most scenes and situations. Why else is
there so much unhappiness and sorrow in the world? So how much value can
be given to someone who is able to bring light and lightness to a place
or a moment, where others have brought their dark? Like a crown of
sparkling jewels, their presence and their words are priceless. It may
only be a gentle smile of comfort, an attitude of genuine interest, some
words which diffuse an awkward moment. Those who stay light in spirit
while others weave their dark are both illuminated and illuminators.
Watch out for such a moment today where you may illuminate. Make that
moment momentous!
