Gone but not forgotten

This is a sad time of year and my heart goes out to any of you who have lost someone recently.
So many people fade away from our lives around the Christmas period and into the new year. Do they hold on for us to be able to have one more festive season?

This was set up before David Bowie left us. Ashes To Ashes, funk to funky. RIP Starman.
