Hello Anne: I hope that this message reaches you. First of all, please accept my sincere condolences at the loss of your father. I lost my own father in June of 2009 after he fought a long battle with dementia, and I appreciate how difficult it can be for those left behind. I have always wondered how you are doing, and I wish I had followed up on your Christmas card that you sent me, long ago, after you had married and had your first child. I am married as well, and have one daughter who is now grown up and away from home. I would love to hear from you. You can contact me at hdevine@ucalgary.ca if you are interested in touching base. I teach at the University of Calgary and I still go by my name of Heather Devine. I can be found on the U of C website. Take care, and I hope to hear from you sometime in the future. Yours sincerely, Heather Devine
