If I can't resurrect a sense of what that love meant to Quinn Norton; then the fault lies entirely with me.  Her words were perfect. “There are no words to can contain love, to cloth it in words is to kill it, to mummify it and hope that somewhere in the heart of a reader, they have the strength and the magic to resurrect it.”

I just hope those he's left behind will be able to find peace. My grandad didn't after my grandmother passed. Mourned her til he ended up going. I hope that doesn't happen. It's a sad thing.

All the best to everyone who knew him. I hope your memories are good one. I’d never heard of him before, but it sounds like he’s left a hole in the world. All the best to everyone who knew him.
