Dear Aunt Fran,
I just learned of my Cousin Gerry's death, tonight, 15 minutes ago.
Gerry was a big part of my childhood and over the decades, we visited each other, a number of times, or called or wrote. I tried leaving messages for him, after Phyllis died, and last year, but I assumed he was going through some difficult times and couldn't talk.
In 1992, Gerry showed me where our cousin, was buried, (Greg Dixon) and his mother (my Aunt Flora - Cindy, was near him.) As Uncle Bill Hucul would say, "this country is just far too big & we have far too little money...." And I remember your visit to Salmon Arm to the Hucul farm, very well; I was delighted to connect with you, although it was a short trip and had been a long time, since I’d last seen you.
I hope you are doing alright and are healthy and happy.
I hope you can receive this note. I will leave my email address, in case somebody here knows how to contact you. Thinking of you and sending love to you and your family (Two of the children, I remember from the 1960’s when we were children.
All the best, with love, Shelley (Hucul), Salmon Arm , BC
