We have been neighbours with Doug and Linda for over 25 years. They kept an eye out over the winter months and kept us informed of any issues. We just finished our first winter and enjoyed several visits and scrabble games! Our most precious gift is the memory plate she made for us when we lost our beautiful Hobie in November. Your craftiness and friendship will be missed. Colleen and Henry
