In memory of Glenneth Thomas, GCN member who perished in flight MH17

This is a special post to to remember a dear GCN member, Glenn Thomas, who tragically perished in the Malaysian Airlines disaster last week.
He will be deeply missed and our thoughts go out to his family and friends.

The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle
warmth still lingers on the land.
The music stops, and yet it echoes
on in sweet refrains.
For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains.

In deepest sympathy,
