My heartfelt condolences Bruce on the passing of your lovely wife Sylvia. You two were a great team.
Her cheerful presence at the Toronto Lawn will be sadly missed. She was partnered with me in the house league when she first joined and our friendship grew from there and grew to include bridge and books.
So many of us will find a gap in our lives.
Rae Tatham.
