Know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers….. Holding precious memories of the exercise classes and our coffee gatherings. With much love, Doug & Suyin

Some of my fondest memories are ones spent cooking, painting, shopping and especially laughing with Karen during the year she and Andy spent in Montreal. Almost ten years later, while visiting them in Vancouver, I enjoyed those same activities with Karen just as much.

Hi Andy,

Fran and I just received an email from Ila – shocking news; we could never imagine this sad news so soon in Karen’s life. We enjoyed visiting you both at your home last year. Her positive disposition just radiated. We enjoyed immensely the conversation on the back porch …
