Dear Marilyn, Ian, Carolyn, Kate, Patrick & Jamie-Claire
I was so sorry to hear of your recent loss. I have some great memories of being recruited as a “fourth” bridge player at the cottage once the wee ones were in bed. And I also remember how much fun Bill had with his grandkids during those visits 26 years ago. My thoughts are with you all.
Sincerely,
Ken
