One Day At a Time
by joan kyler mcmanus
Give me your help Lord,
To live this one day.
One knot to unravel,
One problem to weigh.
One path to discover and,
Choose the right turn.
One worry to conquer,
One lesson to learn.
One moment of gladness,
To overcome pain.
One glimpse of the sunlight,
One touch of rain.
No one can see
What's coming tomorrow.
Nor tell if it's hour
Will bring laughter or sorrow.
So turn to your love, and
With perfect trust say,
"Give me your help Lord,
to live this one day".
all our love,
colette and paul (and the kids)

I only worked with Brian for a short period of time but have two very warm memories of him. The first of which is sitting next to him at dinner during one of our trips to the U.K. During that dinner, Brian spoke of his love of running and of his wife and children back home. He struck me as an incredibly sincere and caring person; dedicated to his family, friends and co-workers. He was someone who took a genuine interest in those around him. The second memory of Brian that I have was when I bumped into him at the Ski Lodge at Mt Holly here in Michigan. Brian greeted me with a big smile and introduced me to his son Jackson. Brian was an avid skier and loved being outdoors. Although incredibly driven, Brian always managed to strike the proper work-life balance. He was the kind of person that was successful in almost everything he set his mind to.He was a great father, loving husband and intelligent and compassionate business leader. Brian will be missed by all that knew him. Brian and his family are in our prayers.

Dear Bussey family
ReplyDeleteWords simply cannot express the sadness my heart felt when I heard the news. Dora, Robert, Alli and Jackson I just want to say knowing Brian and working with him has been a blessing. He had an infectious smile which often came out when we would compare notes on what it was like to have 9 year old daughters. I have a number of very fond memories from talking with him but the best ones always were about interactions with his family. The Bussey and Connell families are in our prayers and we are asking God to bless you in this time sadness.
Warm Regards The Harper Family (Wm., Jane, Douglas and Lauren).
Dora and family:

A poem by W. H. Auden
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message: he is dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
