Oh my! I had lost touch with Christy about 10 years ago. For the past year something has been itching at me to try to find her. And for some reason she was in my mind today and I found this. Oh how my heart breaks! We need to always let people know how we feel about them -that we love them, and we appreciate them.

Dear Ian and Family
Your mom was a wonderful person and I always enjoyed conversations with her, even if it had been over 35 years! My condolences. Hilary Wagner

Dear Christy, I will miss you very much. You and I as sisters shared many good times playing together in the snow, building forts, exploring around the lake cottage and me pestering you when Mom would have you keep an eye on me. I love you, your sister, Carol
