In Loving Memory of Tony Lassing

Gallery 121 artists, friends and family in the Quinte region and overseas, and the arts community mourn the passing of a dear friend, Tony Lassing.

"When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in
his absence, as the mountain to the climber is
clearer from the plain."
~Kahlil Gibran

"And let there be no purpose in friendship
save the deepening of the spirit."
~Kahlil Gibran

"And in the sweetness of friendship let there
be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds
its morning and is refreshed."
~Kahlil Gibran
