    Thinking of you all, Auntie Gail, and my cousisns Stuart, Mike, Karen, Duanne and Colin. You’ve had a few tough years and these last months have been really rough, I’m sure, but my Uncle Ardon has now left the garments of sickness behind him and is probably planting an amazing garden in the next realm of existance!. May it be bountiful, and peaceful.
    Warm memories, and warm thoughts of you all.
