Dear Margaret and family,
I was so sad to hear about Uncle Doug’s passing. I will always remember his sense of humour and his ability to entertain us when we were kids. I have been thinking of you so much these past few days. The video tribute brought back a flood of memories, and I am so grateful that you were able to put this together. It is a lovely homage to both Uncle Doug and Aunt Jean. Much love to you and your family.
