I'm sorry that I cannot attend Dorothy's funeral as I have another commitment on that day. As a lay visitor for Metropolitan Church I have been visiting Dorothy about every six weeks since she entered Richmond Woods. I enjoyed her memories and her pink nail polish. My husband Garth sang in the Metropolitan choir with Syd for decades. Years ago we visited the Reads at their cottage near Parry Sound. It was a couple of weeks after Dorothy surprised a bear in the cottage. At about the same time two of my grandchildren (Alexandra and Matthew Chapleau) attended your summer music camp. It seems our lives intersected in many ways. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you on this sad occasion.
