I was deeply saddened to learn that Brenda had passed away. I knew Brenda for pretty much my whole life, as a friend, as a neighbor, and as dear friends with my parents. A fine lady indeed.
My sincerest condolences to Ian, Jeremy, and Allison and their families for their loss.

I wish to offer my condolences to the Carter family.
Chance encounters over the years with Mr. And Mrs. Carter were always a great pleasure resulting in fabulous conversation with two very fine people. One such chance encounter was on a promenade at Butchart Gardens in British Columbia . It was always a delight . May the fond memories help the family as they grieve the loss of their mom .
