Many local residents will be much saddened by Pope John Paul II's death.
I'm thinking of a very religion Polish girl who works on the counter of a popular bakery in Old Isleworth.She told me some weeks back that she had recently met the Pope..and she had the photograph. She is close to a Polish religious group in Ealing and they are her home from home. I will have difficulty in not shedding a tear when asking her for my sandwiches next week.She, with many other Polish people in our Community, together with other Catholics and non Catholics will be saddened tonight by the news of the death of Pope John Paul. Although he had his critics...he nonetheless conveyed a wonderful presence.. he had an aura of spiritual leadership...and one cannot undervalue his role in enriching the lives of many Eastern Europeans.If he has died...how can any of us escape that final happening. Must put the kettle on again!
