Deepest condolences and sincere sympathy to all family and friends. I am so sorry to hear of Phyllis passing, one of the sweetest people I've known.

I am very sorry to hear of your mother's passing, especially so soon after losing your father. I have known your parents since I moved to Kirkland Lake in my grade 8 year (with Lynne). Your mom always had a smile and stopped for a little chat every time we met in the grocery store. I know her loss is felt all over the Encore Club also. I am sure that she and Henry are together again. My condolences and prayers go out to you and your extended family. She will not be forgotten.
