    Memorial service - Did anyone Go? This may mean something in the UK. There were 600 in attendance (why do they always count?) `Just wondered if any one (else) was there. Edit, don't know what happened to the rest of the title.

    Brent Smith's wife? She died? Brent married me and my husband. How old was she, early seventies?

    That's very young these days. Very sad. Was it an illness?

    Yep, cancer I'm afraid. It took her very quickly.

    I thought it might be cancer. Brent is still alive isn't he? I wonder if they mentioned Jean was a brilliant artist. Unless I misunderstood what Brent told me when they stayed with us she did it professionally before she started pioneering.

    Yes, Brent is still going strong. He is a bit lost though after giving up the travelling. He is an example of a good man left behind by the changes.

    There was reference to Jean having been a good artist, it may have come in to her job.

    Brent was a nice guy when he visited my cong.

    He's had it tough the last few years.

    Aww poor Brent and Jean. Loved those two, very kind indeed, although I know they ruffled the feathers of some.
