Helen,
We were shocked, and saddened to hear of Mike's death. So many good memories came flooding through of all the great times spent with you and Mike, Michael, Debbie, Alexandra and Christian, and Joanne and James. Laughter, good conversations about food, tradition, the garment industry, family, and gardening. Just as our memories will keep Mike close to us, we know that your memories will keep him forever in your hearts and be the strength that carries you all through this difficult time.

Our love, prayers and thoughts are with you all.

Janet and Carl (Ottawa)
