Hello Don/Barry/Debbie/Bruce
Just wanted to express my sympathy to you on the passing of your mother. While its been 50 years since the days on Christina..the memories are vivid and I remember your mother well. Lorna and I live on Saturna Island in BC and have been in BC about 10 years after many years in Ontario (Burlington and Aurora). Anyway couldn’t let this pass without saying hello and passing along my thoughts to you. Cheers.

To Bruce, Barry, Don, Debbie and families: I was very sad to hear of your mother’s death and wish her Godspeed. As you know, my mother and yours were best friends forever, and “Dot” as my Mom called your Mom was a regular fixture at our house when I was a kid.
