I thank Ginny Black for the back stories she presented when writing of contact with Roundup – the most toxic poison ever.
I felt the sensitivity of inner silence and grief when she spoke of the death of her husband: ‘an unfortunate death in 2012 at the age of 69’.
A lovely young male became a deep family friend. He was 20 years old. He went to stay on a farm for a period of time. They had just sprayed with Roundup. He became very ill. Doctors associated his cancer with the Roundup spray.
Within two years of severe illness he too passed over.
All communities have a right to demand best practice when pest sprays are used.
