Dear Beryl,
Although I only met you and Jack a little over a year ago it seems like so much longer. I will always remember visiting you at Kip last summer and the great day we had just last month in Mexico City on our way home from Puerto Escondido. The Ben Zaa will not be the same.

I have been remembering all the great times at the McPhee household when I was a teenager; lots of laughs, always an open door and never not a great time had. I cherish all those amazing memories and the conversations I had with Jack, his outlook on life was infectious. He always managed to talk to us as equals and not just silly teenagers, and I loved him for that! Sorry I can't be there in person on Monday but please know that you are in my thoughts now and always.
Sending much love and strength
