Dear Martha, Yes I remember you and your Mom and Thelma. Thank you for leaving your memories for us to share. I trust your life has been good. AND, we love Thelma and remember her well. She was such a help to us and we appreciated her kindness during the time we "rented" from her. Our love back to you.

Aloma and Family, it has been many years since we saw your lovely family. You and Dick, and your children lived in my grandmother's basement apartment in Vancouver just about a block and a half from the Blind School when he was just beginning his career. My grandmother loved you all as you became part of her (and our) family. Sending you my love during this time.
