    Hi Judith……….I’m so very sorry to hear about the death of your father. A daughter’s deep love for her dad came through in all the stories you shared with the class. Your heart must be breaking. Take care. John McCann

    I will remember Uncle Jock well. For all the time that I can recall as a wee laddie till now, I remember him as a man who had a laugh in his heart that he loved to share with everyone. If we think of him this way, we can carry on his laughter and share it with those we know and love.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you Auntie Janet, Auntie Annie, Judy, Randy and the rest of the family.

    Sincerely,
    Stuart

    p.s. I’m sorry I cannot get to London but I don’t want to give everyone this “bug” I’ve got.
