Allan Tessier

‘The best woman in the world,’ that’s how Allan describes Fay, the love of his life, the centre of his universe and his wife for sixty-seven years. In 1989, inspired by Fay, Allan entered a Valentine’s Day poetry competition run by the Sunraysia Daily. He won! The prize was a dinner for two at a ‘posh’ restaurant. My Darling Fay For thirty-five years I’ve loved you so, I’ve never loved another. To our four sons, as we watched them grow, You’ve been a splendid mother. Since that 28th day in that long ago May, When you pledged your love with mine, You’ve always been and ever will stay My sweetest Valentine. Allan
