<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Dear colleagues far and wide,<br>
I hope life treats you gently, and there are special moments each day you savour.
<br>
Here is Jim at his 90th Birthday Dinner. He began his Birthday in August, when the extended family gathered at a French inspired restaurant in a nearby suburb. 38 family came together, only two nephews missing!
<br>
On Saturday he will be special guest at our weekly Neighbours brunch with cake included!
<br>
The very last Celebration will be this coming Sunday.<br>
His 88 year old sister will bake a special Birthday cake and the Church community will wish him well.
<br>
A life well lived. <br>
The Order EI and ICA experiences completely changed Jim’s life, as his Memoirs testify.
<br>
Journey on, journey on dear colleagues. <br>
With love and blessings to each one,<br>
Isobel Bishop. <o:p></o:p></p>
