Dear Marion. I want to express my condolences on the passing of your dear husband. I have good memories of the way Bruce kidded my mom Jean when they talked and of the stories mom and dad shared of the holidays they went on with the Robert Q group from London. May God give you and your family a measure of comfort at this sad time. Love and prayers from Tiverton. Randy Whelen
