Thinking of you, Bill, with the passing of lovely Evelyn, especially today as you gather at the Kincardine Legion to honour and celebrate her life. I have fond memories of you and Evelyn visiting my parents - Richard (Dick) and Mary Davey (and my grandmother, also Mary Davey) in Owen Sound. I recall often spontaneous, always happy, friendly, warm and welcome encounters. I trust that you, your families, friends, and others will find comfort, knowing we have been blessed with Evelyn/her life in ours.
