Roy and family,
I am very sorry for your loss. I remember meeting you both for the first time in when you lived in Ottawa. After that our paths crossed quite frequently. May the peace of Christ comfort you in this time of sorrow.
Please accept my sincere condolences for the recent passing of your mother. It is so hard losing one’s mother. My mother passed away in August. I understand many of your feelings right now.
