Thank You ~

I am so appreciative of all the help and donations of food last Saturday for the celebration of life gathering to honour my recently departed husband John Stadt.  I was overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness of Thetis Islanders, many of whom spent many hours setting up the hall, organizing food, and cleaning up afterwards.  My apologies that so many of you who attended were forced to stand due to a lack of sufficient chairs!  Your hugs and warm sentiments expressed to me meant more than I can express in words.

A million thanks to you all!
