I was sad to hear about Mrs. Duncan. Lucky was a wonderful neighbour. I have such beautiful memories of growing up next to her and Bob and their four dear children. Know that my family has always cherished having such good neighbours. Will never forget their kindness supporting my parents in their later years.
Sending my love and thoughts to all the family- but especially to you Mr. Duncan. God be with you in the coming days as you go forward.
