Connie Cave Marguerite and Family, Peace, prayers and blessings to you all. My thoughts are with you at this time.

Dear Marguerite,
We were so sorry to read about Bob’s passing in the Times-Colonist today. The last time we saw you in the Waddling Dog, you both looked well and certainly much younger than your years.
Yours was a very close and loving relationship and we know how much you will miss your partner of so many years.
Please pass on our condolences to the rest of your family.
With love,
Sue & Nick
