I wish to thank all the residents of Thetis Island who sent thoughts and prayers and well wishes to Richard after his recent accident.  It has now been six weeks into his healing and he is doing amazingly well. He broke 13+ ribs, punctured his lung, had a grade 3 concussion with a brain bleed damaged his adrenal gland, broke some small bones in the small of his back, and had top to bottom bruising after a fall off our roof.

The Community support and caring has been amazing and im sure that has helped in his recovery. He has a long way to go but is very motivated.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  This is a caring community and a great place to live. 

Special thanks to Karen Michie for driving me to the hospital, and Rick Gregerson for cleaning up all Richards tools, and to Leanne Cone for taking care of our animals. Thanks also to Steve LaVigne and his dad for cutting some firewood for us.

Extra thanks go out to Thetis Island First Responders.  Please consider volunteering to this worthwhile endeavour.

On another note.. PLEASE ALWAYS USE SAFETY EQUIPMENT.  Life is precious.

Thank you all.

Richard and Tess DeMarco
