Dear Allan and Sharon, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your wonderful father. You may remember me from your trips to Toronto when you were very young. My mother was your father's half sister, Doris Coone (nee Dunning). I remember your father and mother visiting us in Toronto - what truly wonderful people they were. I also recall all of the annual Christmas cards from Box 610, Tisdale, Saskatchewan. Mom passed away in 2009 at the age of 93 and a half. That extra half year was important to her. Mom lived a good life, passed peacefully, was surrounded by friends and family and the comfort of her deep faith. I live in Fort Lauderdale Florida and am looking forward to retirement this year. I hope that you receive this message so that you will know that I will never forget your father and mother for their loving kindness to my mother. Sincerely, Arlene Elias (nee Coone).
