My condolences to the Espley family. I'm so sorry for your loss. Growing up with Ali and Dave, Mrs. Espley was a wonderful mom who always had a smile and kind words. I have many good memories of her and the Espley family.

Just a quick note to the family to say I remember your Mom being such a wonderful, kind, long time member of our Tsawwassen community. I know she'll be remembered fondly by all who knew her.
