Dear Doug and Dale and your families,
I offer my sincere sympathies on the death of your father, who I remember as Abby. My connection was fairly limited and arose from the time my brother Norman boarded with your family. I especially remember your Dad’s warmth and great sense of humour. In recent years, I was always happy to learn how he was doing from Norm and my cousin Bob. I am happy he was able to live a long and full life and I hope you and your whole extended family have many happy memories. While I would have liked to pay my respects in person, I am grateful you have arranged to live-stream the service; so please consider me present in spirit. With very warm regards, Marlene
