On Sunday 10th August we learnt that Chris Ian Thornton the
only son of Terry and Grant Thornton had died of a heroin
overdose, he was 29 years old. Born on 22nd May 1979.
He is survived by a daughter.
His funeral was on Wednesday 20th August at Wacol in Queensland.
Cliff flew out from Melbourne at 2.55 p.m. on Tuesday and
Andrew flew out of Adelaide. It was easier for Andrew to
drive the 4 hours to Adelaide rather than 8 hours to Melbourne.
The brothers shared a motel and hired a rental car.
Cliff said the funeral was very moving with Vanessa's husband
writing and singing a special song for his brother in law.
Andrew went home at 5 p.m. and Cliff flew home at 6.30 p.m.
It is always sad when the young loss their lives so carelessly.
"Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peave of the flowing air to you
Deep peace of the quiet air to you
Deep peace of the shinning stars to you
Deep peace of the gentle night to you
Moon and stars pour out their healing light to you.
Deep peace to you."
