“THE MOULD IS BROKEN”

After an incredibly productive life as a sculptor, teacher, father, friend and husband, Tom Bass passed away following a brief illness at the age of 93.

To his family and friends his passing is a deep loss though he has left us all enriched and much to move forward with.

And what of death?
There is a brief pang
of fear and grief,
and then there is
the peace and certainty
of knowing
that my soul
is in a continuum,
and that this life is
only one phase of that.
