Choreo April 2007 by request from Pam Davies who hails from Perth W.A. 

Her loving friend Mary, who has been until recently, an avid line dancer, is sadly suffering from cancer and Pam has requested this dance in Mary’s honour.  On behalf of linedancers everywhere I send loving thoughts Mary’s way and hope that she gets some pleasure out of watching her friends dance this dance for her.

This is a lovely song by Karen Carpenter that Pam chose for Mary’s dance.

I guess we shouldn’t forget that none of us are here forever.  Like everything else,

when there is an abundance of it we don’t value it as much as we should and immediately there is a shortage of it, it becomes much sought after.  We should keep that in mind and

place great importance on each minute we have on the earth while we still have time

to do that….. It’s rather too late when we find out that our time is limited…..

as I’m sure Karen Carpenter would attest if she were able to…….

 

         See you on the floor sometime….. Jan
