Dear Sally and family,
It is with great sadness that I heard of Ted’s passing. I remember I first met him while attending the 7th ward in Lethbridge. I was working with you Sally (as a French monitor) at Senator Buchanan’s school in the early 80s… That was a long time ago. I remember last seeing you in Waterton where I used to work (I am now retired). Ted was always so upbeat and kind. You too have always been among my very favorite people. I have fond memories of you both. I am sending you all my love in this difficult time. Chantal
