Welsh author Richard Llewellyn in his classic novel "How Green Was My Valley" writes about his dead loved ones: "But you have gone now, all of you, that were so beautiful when you were quick with life. Yet not gone, for you are still a living truth inside my mind. So how are you dead, my brothers and sisters, and all of you, when you live with me as surely as I live myself.... How green was my valley, then, and the valley of then that have gone." Wishing you all a blessed festive season filled with love and good cheer. May 2004 see more walls tumbling! Ill be back as soon as I have sorted out my temperamental computer!

Becky! I love that book, and thanks for the inspiration to pick it up again, and re-read it. -----Original Message----- From: Becky Horne [mailto:beckyjh@telkomsa.net] Sent: 11 December, 2011 10:34 PM To: SOUTH-AFRICA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ZA] Off List Posting Welsh author Richard Llewellyn in his classic novel "How Green Was My Valley" writes about his dead loved ones: "But you have gone now, all of you, that were so beautiful when you were quick with life.
