Catherine

I'm back home in Bellingen from Sydney, after a beautiful funeral for my beloved friend, Uncle Ray Hillis, 96 (one of my three Uncle Rays), where my euology was delivered, on the feast day of St Catherine of Alexandria. Catherine was a virgin (nun) and martyr of noble birth in Alexandria, Egypt, who defended the Christian faith against 'heathen' philosophers commanded by Roman emperor Maximinus. The Catherine wheel's well known to many, and Ray loved them. Vale, Ray.
