Dear Marlene,
I wanted to pass on my sincere condolences to you during this very difficult time. I had breakfast with Barb last week and I was asking how you were and was happy to know you both keep in touch with each other. It seems like yesterday that we were all working at Canada Trust at Dundas and Clarence. We certainly had some good times!
May peace and the love of friends and families surround you as you move forward.

Dear Marlene,
Jennifer shared the sad news. I’m so sorry to hear of Uncle Glenn’s passing and wanted to reach out to you and let you know you’re in my thoughts and prayers. He was always so happy, full of life and fun to be around. I will remember with fondness Uncle Glenn playing the violin at the Deichert reunions. It was such a treat. I didn’t know he was 35 before he started to play. What an inspiration to us all….he will be missed.
Thinking of you Marlene and sending love your way during this sad time…
With sympathy and Love
