Ella, Kelly and Collette,

Sorry for your loss of husband and father. I remember your dad as a kind, quiet man. Collette, I remember a weekend I travelled with you and your parents to Vancouver. It was a great time and my first (and last experience) with eggs sunny-side up. They do still sound good though, lol!

Your neighbour from Patterson Ave. and classmate at Raymer Elementary.
