Dear Chip and Trippy,



I found out Irene passed away on New Year's… I send you both my condolences. I was devastated but glad that I got to see her last year in Toronto… She meant a lot to me.



I have this image of her as an eternal being and was planning to visit her sometime in the next ten years. I have been sick and I don’t make short term plans, but this was one of my long term plans.



I have really fond memories about the Zelts and wish to keep them alive… You are always welcome in my home… Much like your mother welcomed everybody in hers…



Yours truly, Lyne, Michel’s youngest daughter.

Dear Chip and Trippy,

I have just heard of your loss. I send you both my condolences. I had only met your Mother for a brief time a few months ago in Toronto. Her and I went to leave the party to go for a cigarette...

She carried her shoes.

She was an inspiration to me, as she seemed to live life to the fullest.

I hope to live as full a life as hers.

From all of the stories that I have heard from my love (Maria Lynn) I feel that I knew her, and you both. My best wishes go out to you two at this time



yours,

Mitch Krol
