My special friendship is with Maida’s sister Alma, and through her I met Maida (only once), but hear much of the family on an ongoing basis.
I offer my sympathy to Allan, Faye, Paul, Alma and all the family at this time. I will be holding you all in mind and heart in the next days.
I hope to be here for Alma today, tomorrow and time to come.
Although my relationship is short I appreciate and admire this fine local Canadian family.
