Farewell to BDC (Meerkat)

An unforeseen tragedy has struck over the festive break. A loss within a family of one of our own. An accident born of innocence that will bond forever within those who were to be in the immediate unfortunate location, or who came together later in the day to grieve and share memories.

As details became clearer through direct conversations with family over the ensuing days, some in person and some over the phone, the bewilderment of having someone so precious snatched without due notice from the garden of life leaves an unexplainable emptiness.

The ceremony to celebrate the life that was, a tribute to all involved in the heartfelt emotions that flowed through the room. An estimate had the crowd upwards of seven hundred, the brightness adorning several adding to the sorrow and respect.

The Torch is now to be confronted by a time of discovery, the Lions will be galvanised to support in every way.

Farewell BDC, may you rest in good spirits and peace.
