My thoughts are with you, Hayden, and your family at this time of loss.
To Hayden, Bob, Paul, and families, please accept my condolences on the loss of your mother. It has bee a long time since I left home on Watling Street in 1971, where your mother and father and all of you were neighbours, just around the corner. From time to time, your mother was at our house as part of the neighbourhood ladies bridge club. I also recall the occasional deep "philisophacal" discussions with Hayden in the summer, sitting in your backyard. I remember your mother (and father) as friendly outgoing relaxed people. Again, please accept my condolences and let me wish all of you well. Ron Bowman (formerly of 11 Watling St.) Kitchener, ON
