Journey of Life - Pulling together the fragments!

At the moment I am putting together a funeral homily about the life of Ron Quinn. He worshipped faithfully at the Cathedral and lived in a Cathedral View a rest home in Gabalfa. Strange after his death I learned far more about him than I knew in life. He was a mixture of eccentricity and stubborness but was firm in the Catholic faith and attendance at the eucharist. he was as his sister put it a rover who moved around from place to place and if you did not keep in touch with him he would not keep in touch with you. But it has been facsinating putting together the fragments of his life and one thing is at the centre of all of these fragments and it is his faith. Wherever he lived he made sure he went to church and joined in (as much as he ever did the Christian community) Thank God that the Church is there for those at the margins and long will it continue to be so!!!
