We are so terribly sorry to hear of the passing of both your parents! I know you were very close to them and they will be missed dearly. We hope that you are comforted knowing that they are now together again…
Cathie, Again my deepest sympathy. Too much too soon.
Rest in peace. Your dad was my favourite roommate of my father in Parkwood. He was a kind soul who I enjoyed talking with. I tell my students about him and his contribution to WW2.
