A LAMEMT FOR DOUGH.

For SARAH and FAMILY.

In memory's gentle embrace we find,

A life well-lived, a soul refined,

Douglas Gilling, a century's bloom,

A tapestry rich, in every room.

An architect's vision, so skillfully drawn,

Structures of beauty, at dusk and at dawn,

From blueprints to reality, he'd command,

A symphony of structures, across the land.

Photographer's lens, capturing light,

Moments preserved, in black and white,

Through his eyes, the world anew,

A kaleidoscope of memories, vibrant and true.

At a hundred and one, nearly two,

A he journeyed on,

Leaving footprints of legacy, brightly drawn,

In the hearts of those who were touched by his art,

Douglas Gilling, forever a part.

As stars now gather, in the cosmic sky,

His spirit takes flight, like a butterfly,

Fond memories linger, love never ends,

Douglas, the architect of lives, a good friend.
