Dear Judy ,Bill ,David, Nancy,Douglas and Families.. one of the great advantages of spending our youth in a beautiful community was our wonderful neighbours . The MacKINNON FAMILY WERE EXCEPTIONAL NEIGHBOURS they weee like an extended family.. People of excellent character. Each year when we would return to that beautiful island I had to visit my life long friends. It was always a special part of my home visit. Now if The Lord Permits I will be graces to visit my Dead Friend Fraser . Doreen is now in The Lord’s Company. Life is short we are born , we live and then we leave . I thank The Lord I had the privilege of knowing such a loving , compassionate beautiful person as Doreen. She and Fraser are well matched and the best is let to come. God’s Speed Doreen your life Journey is a success.
