Dear Jerry:

John & I are very sad for this to have occured so early, there were so many more times we wanted the four of us to share together. We have many wonderful memories that keep flooding back of the times we enjoyed together. The enjoyable dinners at each other place in Calgary. Edmonton weekends (one when the Gretzky wedding took place) New Years Eve parties (one on the bus from Bilton's). Camping trips in the Kananaskis and in particular the last trip of each season when we shared Thanksgiving turkey in the "bush". Our last trip with the trailer before we moved to Vancouver from Drumheller was shared with you at Ram River Falls. The times we met in other places while you or we were on vacation - San Diego, Missoula, Waterton Natl Park, Nanaimo, Victoria for Robs birthday. Our mini cruise from Vancouver to San Fancisco, the list is long. They were great times together and leave us with fond memories. We love you both.

Ted & John
