Dear Michael, I had the honour of driving your lovely Aunt June and Uncle Chuck from the Waterloo Airport back to their home in Fergus this evening. They explained that they had not lived in Fergus for very long and of course I inquired as to where from they had relocated. I told them I once knew a boy named Michael from Kirkland Lake. Yes his name is Michael Martineau! Long story short….they brought me up to speed with the recent events. I am deeply saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. Georgina was a beautiful and kind soul indeed. Blessings to you and your family dear one. I understand that you yourself are well, but that it has been difficult for you and your family. I can only imagine the heart ache and the challenges. Note: I drive part time at Red Car Service in Guelph ~ how I met June and Chuck. Pretty sure that I had met June once upon a time in Kirkland Lake…yes? My email is above if you feel like contacting me. Blessings, Annie
