Hi Ron
I believe it was you who let me have a copy of œThe Complete Works
of Pat Batt sometime last year and also spoke kindly of your
friendship with the lady. If so, you will be saddened to hear that she
died at the Marie Curie Hospice last Saturday, another victim to
cancer.
I hadn™t seen her in ten months, but the last time we shared the floor
she was helping a complete novice to enjoy Scottish Country
Dancing, as ever.Lovely lady
Regards

Tom Busby

Dear Friend,
Just to let you know that
                              PAT BATT
                       passed away peacefully
                                 on
                           22nd April 2006

                            Tempus Fugit
                   My mirror says I’m growing old
                     My inside says it’s wrong.
                   My outside voice is quavering,
                     But inside there’s a song.


                   The wrinkles multiply, I know,
                       And yet inside my mind
                   A nice young thing of seventeen
                      Is there for me to find.

               The teeth – well we won’t mention them,
                      The glasses we’ll forget.
                 The hair is grey – so what, I say,
                       For I’m not beaten yet.

                  I don’t feel old, except perhaps
                     When twinges are annoying
                There’s lovely things to see and do,
                      And life is for enjoying.

                    I hope to keep my memories,
                   They’re much too good to lose.
                 They’ll dance inside my head when I
                      Hang up my dancing shoes.

                      From ‘Pat’s Party Pieces’
