How many hours have I spent in the basement of the Petrie home on Krivel Crescent in Regina? I don’t know, but it’d be easier to count in days rather than hours. David and Marilyn were always welcoming, generous and tolerant of Randy and Geoff’s rowdy military buddies. And, how many weekends have I spent at the family cottage on Diefenbaker Lake? Many and I always felt appreciated and cared for. At the time, one doesn't necessarily appreciate the impact of people in our lives however in retrospect it is clear. Both David and Marilyn had a significant influence on my life by modelling love and friendship and by raising amazing children who are gentle of spirit and are lifelong friends.Mr. Petrie, David, thank you and you will be missed. Mrs. Petrie, Marilyn, thank you and you are loved. Randall, Geoff, Stephanie and Myrna, my deepest condolences.
Yours in sympathy,
Rob
