Sharon Lassey On behalf of the Lower Vancouver Island Retired Teachers’ I want to pass on our condolances for your loss. I hope you have time to talk of the many happy times you have had with Kathryn and can share some of those memories.
Please know that Miss Campbell will be greatly missed in our neighborhood. I myself will miss seeing her tending to her flowers when I look out my front window at her beautiful yard. Over the years we waved at each other and had the occasional talks about her roses, her love of cats and her beautiful bungalow. I know her family and friends will sorely miss her. We often commented on her busy social calendar as we – so many years her junior sat at home as she drove out and about of an evening. Goodbye Jean – we will miss you. Inge and Bill Chalk
