[Viva] Sad news ...

Wed Feb 3 05:51:36 PST 2016

I am sorry to be out of the country for this memorial and I wish everyone
who will be attending a beautiful day of memory, love and peace.

Thank you for sharing the site, Kath and for your help in knowing what took
place.

Denise

>> On the flight back home, Janet collapsed and appeared to be having

>>
>> The emergency room doctors at Leduc Hospital attempted to resuscitate
