Dear Family, Bob and Evelyn were my dearest friends during the time Colin and I lived in Alberta. Now I have lost three of them, Bob, Evelyn and Colin. Life goes on with out them all but the memories I have tucked away deep in my heart. Memories of the old songs, the tea parties, the gardens, Colin and Evelyn cooking and sharing recipes, Christmas and Santa Claus making his rounds at the Gee's, Singing at the Jubilee with Evelyn and Bob watching in the audience, the laughter, the honest open conversations, the anniversaries, and all the other gatherings. It seemed that we did not need an event to bring us all together, we just automatically migrated to their house where we knew that we were welcome at any time! People like Bob and Evelyn are rarely replaced. I will always love them in my heart and have always felt a part of their family. Their support and love for me was like having my parents and my family close to me even though they were miles away. My heart aches for you today, Lloyd and Brenda, I wish I could be there with you but we will try to visit this fall. Martin did meet Evelyn and we stayed with her during one of our visits west. He found her to be a wonderful caring lady and loved her as much as I did. Love to all the families, Carol and Martin Soucy (nee: Carol Campbell)
