Dear John (Hutch) – my heart goes out to you on the loss of your mom. Her pictures in the Times Colonist obituaries showed a very beautiful looking woman, young and old. The way she was descibed also describes you so I guess she passed those traits onto you. Sending my sincerest condolences to you and Pat.
John – I was sorry to hear today of your mother’s death. I send you my condolences
