Today was the funeral for Brother Patrick Bailey. Of the funerals I have attended, or participated in as a Mason, this was the most difficult. Unlike the deceased being some person of whom I have no knowledge, I knew Brother Bailey � if only briefly. But in that time, such was the character of this man, I could call him friend.
Brother Bailey was the man who knighted me a Templar.
It is difficult to say more, so I will only say this � by this sign, you did conquer.
