    Dear Karen,
    We were sorry to hear about your father’s death. He must have been quite an athlete in his early life, judging by the old pictures, and he made his mark on the MicMac AAC. You will have many memories to sort through. Let the happy ones comfort you in the days ahead.
    With our sympathy,
    Linda and Don
