Dear Fiona and family-
Sincerest condolences on your dad’s passing. I remember Mr. Morham (I would never have called him Malcolm!) as a quiet man with a clever sense of humour. Thinking of you all during your time of loss.

Dear Brenda,
I am so sorry for your great loss. Malcolm was a very special person and I am particularly glad that, through our two families coming together, I got to meet and know you both. I shall miss his Christmas notes, exchanging grand-parently stories of Jess and Mia.
I am sure the children and grand-children will be a great comfort.
With much sympathy, thoughts and love,
Rachel.
Malcolm was a unique and valued member of our croquet club. He and Brenda were always supportive of many of Bayfield’s fundraisers. His generosity in hosting an open house for the benefit of the Town Hall showed his generous and giving spirit. He will be sorely missed.
