Dear Pat, Doris and Bobby, I am so sorry that my first message to you in years has to be one of condolence. I am so sorry for your loss. I know this will be difficult and there´s nothing I can say to take that away. I remember "Mr. Blaikie" well and fondly. He was such a nice, caring guy. He was also good looking and very cool, I thought, for a dad. I loved hanging out with you guys in Beachmont. I will always remember those years before I left for college so dearly. You were all so welcoming, warm, nurturing and fun and I´m glad I got to be a part of that, even for a short time. So, my heart breaks with this news and my spirit goes to join you and help give you strength. Please don´t hesitate to reach out to me. Sending you all a warm hug with love, Robert Doris / [email protected]
