Tim, Michael, Talli
You still have friends at La Salle who remember you and your mother. I was sad to read about your father's untimely death, and wanted you to know that I have been thinking about you. I have also had many good chukles in the last two days, as the news brought back many memories of the fun times that the female staff had with (and often led by!)your Mom. While I did not know your father nearly as well, I know the kind of partnership that the two of them had. I also know the kind of children they raised, and the values that they instilled in you,and that tells me all I need to know about your Dad.
I hope that you are able to move forward with good thoughts of both your parents and I know that you will carry on your legacy.

We were so saddened to learn about the passing of Gordon. He has been a volunteer patient here at the Glaxo Wellcome Clinical Education Centre at Queen's for the past couple of years and was greatly admired by our medical, physio therapy and occupational therapy students and loved by our CEC staff. His contribution to the learning of our students about Parkinsons was invaluable. We send our sincerest condolences. I am sorry I was unable to attend today's service.
Sincerely, Cheryl Descent, Volunteer Patient Program Coordinator.
