Dear Lucia and Family,
We would like to extend our condolences on the passing of your father last fall. We know from our own experiences that even though we recognize how saying goodbye to loved elders of our families is a natural part of life, it remains a difficult adjustment to lose our parents. Though time will make the loss easier, for the next year or two every family gathering will seem diminished, and your personal connection to him will be sorely missed in your quiet personal moments. Please pass our thoughts along to your mother, who must miss your father very much.
So many months have gone by since your father’s passing, we hope you will still be checking this site and will receive our message. We have tried to call the phone number we have for you in our address book, but it is no longer in service. Our phone number is still 250.537.4047 and if you call us with your number – or send yours by return email – we will call you for a chat. From time to time we think about you, remembering all your kindnesses to Jeannette, wondering how you are and how grown up your little fellow must be by now.
Our sincere warm thoughts to you and your family,
Joyce and Michael Weir
