Dear Dr. Patricia Chan & Family,
I offer my most sincere condolences and sympathies to you and all your family. I remember the two of you very well growing up around Bonnyville, AB. My Mom and Dad thought very highly of the two of you as Doctors. I myself worked for you looking after your children and household for a short time during the summer holidays I believe in the year of 1963. I later had you as my Doctors delivering two of my children in 1968 and 1969. I remember you as very good doctors, hard working and caring people. May God bless you and your family.
