Lorette I am thinking about you, I am so sorry for your loss.
Hello Wendy and Stuart,
“A voice from your past” , I was saddened to hear about the passing of your dad. I have very fond memories of him from our childhood. Most of them have to do with how willingly he included me on many of your outings. Wendy, do you remember when I was invited along on a 2 week camping trip with you? Stuart, you went to stay on a farm with relatives during that time. You took your pet crow. I am sure you are going to miss him and his passing will leave an empty space in your life. Please remember me to your mum. Let her know that she and your dad started my love for camping that continues today.
Sincerely,
Raye
